Does the gothic verb "þliuhan" come from *fliuhan? Considering
that 
the verb is "flýja" in Old Norse (<*fliuhan, *fliuhijan?) and 
"fliehen" in German, I find the gothic version peculiar ...

(It is "flýja" in Old Norse, isn't it? But where does the -j- and
the 
i-umlaut come from? If it was *fliuhijan, shouldn't the Old Norse
form 
be "flýa"?)
