[gothic-l] Gotnar, nicht “Gaut”!

[cstrohmier at YAHOO.COM]

Dear List Members,
	I was leafing through an American textbook called "Deutsche
Kulturgeschichte" by Hans-Wilhelm Kelling of Brigham Young University
(copyrighted in 1985 by Holt, Rinehart and Winston,Inc., USA), and in
a footnote under the section titled "Die Volkerwanderung",
there is an explanation of the origin of the names of various German
tribes, including  "die Ost- und Westgoten", which are
defined as being derived from "Gote Manner (gotnar = Manner) oder
der aus gutem Lande stammende (Gotland)."
Sincerely yours,
Cory
