==Etymology==

The earliest written record of Sani Bursil is from an original manuscript found during renovation of a temple in Arsal in 1649, which among others describing Impelanzan rule over [[Staynes|Estenes de la Aurora]], describes a battle fought over the pillared fortress ''Burhsūli''. The pillared fortress ~~later~~ ~~became a holy site~~ under Impelanzan rule, ~~which~~ lasted for two centuries from the 4th to the early 6th, being reclaimed around the fall of Impelanza.

The earliest written record of Sani Bursil is from an original manuscript found during renovation of a temple in Arsal in 1649, which among others describing Impelanzan rule over [[Staynes|Estenes de la Aurora]], describes a battle fought over the pillared fortress ''Burhsūli''. The pillared fortress was sainted under Impelanzan rule, becoming ''Sanctus Burhsūli''. This lasted for two centuries from the 4th to the early 6th, being reclaimed around the fall of Impelanza.

Because of the description of pillars in the fortress, etymologists widely agree that ''Burhsūli'' comes from an earlier proto-Ethalrian translation ''Burgzsūliz'', where ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/burgz| burgz]'' means "fortress" (similar to how ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/burh#Old_English| burh]'' is related to ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/burg#Old_English| burg]'' in [[Wikipedia:English language|Old Staynish]]), and ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/s%C5%ABliz| sūliz]'' means "pillar". When the Staynish reclaimed Sani Bursil in the 10th century, the city was known as ''Sanu Burhsyl''. The ''t'' pronounciation had been lost, and [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-West_Germanic/s%C5%ABli| sūli] had shrank to ''[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/syl#Old_English| syl]''.
