[gothic-l] "folii cetri"

[Bertil Häggman]

Keth,

Was just wondering what the "difficult
reading" is? Could "folii cetri"
be anything else than "lemon tree
leaf"? Personally I don't know 
how the leaf of a citru tree looks
like, but if it looks anything like
most leafs, Gutland is a good bet.

Gothically

Andreas Nordin simply translates by "med buktande sidor
liksom citronträdets  blad". But clearly he has chosen
the easiest reading, where the more difficult reading
is clearly to be preferred. (i.e. the lemon leaf)
