[gothic-l] Gothic in spanish

[Fredrik]

There's a word in spanish that is 'guante' which i think means
something like 'glove'. Could this be a loan from gothic or do some
one know it's origin?
I haven't seen any word in gothic similar to guante with the same
meaning but the word is to smililar to the swedish 'vante' to be a
coincidence. 'Vante' is a type of thin glove.
Isn't it common that germanic initial w becomes gu in roman languages?
In that case guante would come from wante or something like that...
