[gothic-l] Hlaford

[Le Bateman]

I asked it back in July it seems this is the only question of mine that has
been answered and I thank you. I  feel as though I am being ignored. I asked
about the Name of the town  of Gotenhaven, but was asked not to ask that
because that was a Kriegsmarine  yard in World War II.  I was interested in
the origin of the name it mean Goths Haven. I will merely read the post and
not post from now on.
Sincerely
Jacob L. Bateman III or Le

About the Gothic word for Lord:

(I'm sorry I forgot about this question, which was raised back in July)

The word used by Wulfila was "frauja". The English word is a compound whose
first element is "loaf". This has a cognate "hlaifs" in Gothic, used to mean
bread. I do not know whether the Anglo-Saxon "ord", which was the other half
of
the compound, has any known Gothic counterpart. Lehmann's dictionary seems
to
suggest not.
