[gothic-l] Re: Anagastes?

[andreas.schwarcz at UNIVIE.AC.AT]

Schönfeld, Wörterbuch der altgermanischen Personennamen, 19 
gives a gothic etymology for Anagastus, *ana-gasts, Förstemann, 
Altdeutsches namenbuch, 100 f. has the name Anagastus to the 
stem an-, confirmed by Henning Kaufmann, Altdeutsche 
Personennamen. Ergänzungsband. München 1968,p.33, who gives 
two possibilities, idg.*an, meaning ancestor, or germ. *un, *an, 
"gönnen".
Anagastes is undoubtedly germanic.
