[gothic-l] Re: Gothic "sa"

{sa}: demonstrative or article?

The Gothic Bible is a translation. With translations, there is a tendency for
translators to import usages and mannerisms from the original language,
particularly if the text is sacred and thus the translator is more than usual
driven to stick close to the original. For example, various Hebrew-isms of
word usage got through from the Hebrew Bible via Greek (Septuagint) and Latin
(Vulgate) to the King James English Bible.
