[gothic-l] What phenomenons, objects, fauna and flora, concepts the Goths know?

[Werner van Nuffel]

All universal phenomenons (sun, moon, rain,water,fire, air, earth, 
trees, animals, fear, hapiness, cold, warm, pain,dursty, bornin, 
death, sick,
) have generated their own vocabulary in each tribe 
because one of them (the word-root-neologist) was the first who made 
a sound to descirbe that `thing' or `phenomenon' and this sound was 
than also used by the other people of that community.
So, the sound-convention was made. By oral tradition t at sound
(word) becames the `signifiant' of the `signifié'. They didn't wait
how other tribes describes that phenomenon. This means that 
`universal' phenomenons sounds always different in other cultures.

Is there someone of you that already made a sort of Gothic vocabulary 
which was made by this sort of 'thinking about languages' : 
what 'phenomenons', 'things', 'objects' or 'concepts' all homo 
sapiens are influences by? Is there an antropological-linguist that 
already made this sort of word-listings and do you think we can use 
this list as a "basical vocabularity"?
