I seem to remember that one recorded Crimean Gothic word is {ada}
= "egg". The `d' in it looks specifically Gothic, unless the word can

P.S. Who is in charge of gutiska at egroups.com? Its information page
doesn't seem to say. Giuseppe Pagliarulo / Josef Strawarila sent its
first message in, but is he that list's controller?
