SV: [gothic-l] Scandinavia and Scania, Nos 8-9.

[Bertil Häggman]

Manolo,

No, not the verb cedo, cessi, cessum
(vita cedo = pass away).

But the substantive excidio (fem.)
or excidium (neutr) : destruction,
devastation, ruin, disaster.

No, not cad, but a variation is *dhgwhei
(perish) maybe or *dheu (die).

More probable *mrtos (dead) or *mrtom
(death) or *moros (death) or *nek (perish,
die) the latter related to Tocharian
B nakstaer (disappears, perishes).
Note the Germanic chthonian goddess
Nehalennia.

Langobardically

Bertil


Are you suggesting that is related to
caedo, caedes, cadere, cessi, cassum ?

Ocassum --> the death  of day.

deceso (Spanish) ---> pass away (to the heavens).

Then cad is a Indoeuropean root for death ?
