[gothic-l] Re: Gothic font (Burgos) Gothic Names

[Francisc Czobor]

Hi, Fernando,
 
you didn't succeed to get the link to Koebler's Annex 3 (Gothic 
Names) probably because you tried to click on the link in my message. 
But, unfortunately, that addess was not displayed in one row, so in 
this case you would click on a truncated link that obviously will 
give an error. Therefore you have to retype the address in order to 
accede to it.
Regarding your explanations regarding ala-thius, I also consider that 
the second variant is more plasible.
 
Best regards,
Francisc
