[gothic-l] Re: ASILUKAIRNUS / G. H. BALG

[F.E.J.D. IV]

Dear friends,

Thank you all for the wonderful reponse concerning asilukairnus.

I did not see any references to G. H. Balg's Glossary of the Gothic
Language.

Should anyone have this tome, I would greatly appreciate HIS ANALYSIS
concerning ASILUKAIRNUS.

Cheers,
F.E.J.D
Fernando
