What means Engling Fury?

I'll ask Laurie as he might have a proper OED lying around.

I get the feeling though Joscha that the word might have Germanic roots?

Hm, if that was the case it could come from the word "Engel", angel. That rather would be "Angel's Fury". Should it be an adjective? In German that rather would be "englig" (just like "eklig", disgusting or "lustig", funny). But there is nothing like "englig" in German, you would rather use "engelsgleich", angelic. So I don't know, why they called it "engling". Maybe the designer of the card is a user of this forum too?

And I thought this would be an easy one .

mm Laurie's German Black Library editor says:

As in Engling Fury?

According to our German editor, Engel is obviously 'angel', so in a fantastical sense it could be that.

It also could come from 'eng', meaning "thin" or "narrowly". An Engling could be a term for a faerie-type creature which is thin or weak

So we're no more useful for you sorry

From Werewolf the Apocalypse Second Edition, p. 301 (wta-pastdue.livejournal.com/644.html):

"Englings, Jagglings of Gaia, are spirits of Gnosis that Garou hunt during moots. Once caught, the Engling is thanked for giving itself to strengthen the Garou. If the ceremony is performed properly, the participants regain all their Gnosis."

I imagine this must be a made-up term of the WtA RPG. It looks like Ahrimanes with Level 4 Spiritus can hunt Engling spirits like Werewolves do, regaining Willpower instead of Gnosis.

Gnosis, for those who aren't familiar with Werewolf terminology, could be summed as the spiritual might, similar to mana or chi.
