[gothic-l] Salo Test -- further thoughts & was Wulfila one person??

[Lucia Sinisi]

there is an article dedicated to the construction of this phrase  by E. Durante, unfortunately in italian: 
E. Durante, "'Du usfilhan ana gastim'. La funzione di 'ana' e il costrutto 'du' con l'infinito in gotico, Biblioteca di Ricerche Linguistiche e Filologiche, Roma: Il Calamo, 1974, 40 pp.

  About the Gothic phrase

      du usfilhan ana gastim

  which translates the Greek

      eis taphén tois xenois:

  How is the Gothic to be construed? The Greek seems to be "into (i.e. for the 
  purpose of) burial for strangers", though my Greek is too ropy for me to 
  pronounce confidently on this. The Revised Standard Version of Matthew has "to bury 
  strangers in". To make the Gothic match the Greek, the infinitive could be 
  taken as passive, since Gothic sometimes uses the active infinitive in this way; 
  e.g. Matthew 6:1 "du saihwan im" = to be seen by them. If  in addition the 
  use of "ana" here is taken to be adverbial, the sense is "for strangers to be 
  buried on". 

  As for the list of dative verbs that llama_nom provided recently, "gahwotjan" 
  (= rebuke, threaten) could be added.
