Easy enough.

Quote:Here we report that there is no need to invent *Wodinaz and similar words to “explain” the origin and meaning of the theonym Odin. Odin’s representations with one eye provide the key to his name: Odin’s one eye is the code for his name, “One I.” “One” in Hebrew is echad, and “I” in ani. Echad ani — i.e., Odin or Adonai — in the Magyar language is egy én, meaning “one I” or “one self.”

The Old Church Slavonic ѥдинъ (jedin), “one”, and Russian один (odin), "one", are related to the Magyar egy én, "one I".

The significance of echad, egy, jedin, odin – i.e., “one” – in Odin’s name is indicated in Deuteronomy 6:4:

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.”

The finding that Odin means “one I” or “one self” is significant because it indicates that Odin was by no means a pagan god, but the God of Israel, who is “one.”

I wasn't able to read the article at this time.

But this appears to be fairly flimsy reasoning of this thing looks kind of like this earlier thing, therefore they must be related.  And that you make multiple of these jumps doesn't help.   This reminds me of something Min would post.
