[gothic-l] 2Cor cap.13 of Wulfila's Bible

[Vito Evola]

I am doing a study on Wulfila's 2Cor. 13, 1-13, Cod. Amb. A and B.

I would like to hear any interesting remarks from anyone, and at this 
moment I would like to ask about two particular words in v.2

anþaramma (=other) adj. sing. mas. Is this the Dative case? If so, why?

frawaurkjandam (=sin) pres. part., dative plur.; i'm interested in 
Wulfila's meta-translation of the greek word for "sin", seeing as the 
concept of sin (like many other words) were not in the Goth's forma 
mentis. It seems it comes from fra+waurkjan. Fra, it seems to me, is a 
locative prefix and waurkjan means "to work". I could understand if fra 
was a negation, thus "bad work, bad action", but I'm not understanding 
the locative part. Any help here?

Are there any other interesting concepts anyone has to share regarding 
either the text per se or Wulfila's exegesis or "metatranslations"? 
Otherwise each time I need some help, I'll post and ask you to share 
your ideas with me.

thanks!
