Reconstructions of contemporary Gothic words

[thiudans]

Köbler:

"walh-s, got., Adj. (a): nhd. welsch, ausländisch; ne. foreign; Vw.:
s. *wala (1); Q.: PN, Qualatrûdi, HhGEW 133; E.: s. germ. *walahaz,
M., Kelte, Welscher, Fremder."

I suppose a substantivized Walhaland or Walhane Land would be a more
Gothic construction than Walhiskaland or something along those lines.
