>1. The Russian language has two adjectives for 'Gothic':
>a) '???????' [gotskij] that means general belonging

>2. Old Russian knows the Goths as '????'
>(attested in some treaties of Novgorod and Smolensk

Are you referring to the treaties between Gotland and Novgorod  1189
and between Gotland and Smolensk 1229. Here it is the Gotlandic
coast. "Gutniska kusten".
