Hi Dirk,

Maybe, but I gather Latin writers usually render Gothic <ai> in 
personal names as <ai> or <ei>, or sometimes <e> (Dagalaiphus, 
Gaina, Radagaisus, Vajasindus; Gisaleicus; Gesila, Gesimundus; 
also 'eils' in De Conviviis Barbaris).

But <auj> tends to appear as <oi> in Latin, e.g. names beginning 
Froi-, Froj- = Go. Frauj-.

Examples from Braune/Helm "Gotische Grammatik", and Koebler's Anhang 
3 Wörterbuch der gotischen Namen:
