[gothic-l] "Plinsjan" as a loan word from Old Slavic

[Grsartor at AOL.COM]

About whether Gothic "plinsjan" is a borrowing from Slavic:

Lehmann's Gothic Etymological Dictionary says

"an exception to the rule that words common to Gmc and Sl were borrowed from
Gmc" and he makes reference to OSl plesti = dance.

I do not know whether this is the generally accepted view, but merely pass on
what I find in the book mentioned above.
