Llama-

I had a detailed reply before but I had to log back into yahoo and
lost everything. Pretty frustrating.

Essentially:

"gufl wiljands" = ? (jabai) wili Gufl. Nice useful expression!

-Bruk was apparently an attempt to match Go. translations of
craomai verbs (related to crhsin) "need, use" more than "use,
custom".  In this sense,  andawizn also is fitting.

-torn between "bi wistai" and "wisteigs". no go. translation of
Greek para "against", though plenty of pros, kata = "withra".
nothing to weigh except the little rule that attested Gothic is better
(though not necessarily what would have been used).

-ga- removed from gainmaidjan

compare my *laugia to Go. aiwlaugia (from Greek.) as special
religious term this might work, though Frauja and Guth and alh-
doubtless had pagan predecessors and perhaps
contemporaries in Wulfila's time.


Sure there was more, will let you know.


Cheers,
Matthew
