[gothic-l] Rugi and Eruli

[Matthew Carver]

Hails

You are correct of course when referring to these personal names, which I
excluded from my assertion of the paucity of vandalic vocabuary for the sole
fact that they were indeed names. As mentioned already, the 'domine
miserere' provides us with two probably-Vandalic words, *froja and *armen,
and one name provides us with a common noun as well, *gardings cf. Go.
gardiggs. We would expect these languages to be very close.

>> Of Vandalic vocabulary, we have only a few words I think: armen "have pity",
>> froja "lord," and garding[u]s "paladin".  Burgundian is much more attested,
>> and Gepidic less so, and Suebic almost as little as Vandalic according to
>> the final index in Gotisches Woerterbuch
