[gothic-l] Question about Catualda

[Alburysteve at AOL.COM]

Hi Francisc:

>  This is the accepted etymology for Marcomanni?

I have no other authority and had not considered the likelihood of your
(convincing) etymology below.  Has anyone published a treatment of this
tribal name?

>  I thought that it comes from Gmc. *Marko-maniz "men of the border" (or
>  something like this; Gmc. *marko = Goth. marka = border, boundary).

Rgds,

Steve
