    I believe there are a few unique word-citations from Greek and Latin
sources, e.g. bala "white horse" comes from one.  Then there are a handful
of non-Biblical items written in Gothic, from the Skeireins to legal
documents.  Then there's that Salzburg ms. (whose proper designation I
don't think I've ever seen) with the Gothic alphabet and letter-names on
it.  There are probably a few other scattered sources.
