[gothic-l] Neologisms "Of Yore" (WAS: Re: Neologisms Dictionary)

Hails Matthew,

Excellent stuff!  Especially *kat(t)uhaurds.  Ahja sweþauh þatei þai 
waurdaskapjands alþizans jah frodozans nu waurþeina, bi sumos 
waihtins?  But I guess we're a bit spoiled these days with all this 
information on the internet at our *figgraandjam.

*handgawaurhts "handmade"
Attested is handuwaurhts (also unhanduwaurhts).

*bi allata "completely"
The attested form is BI ALL, cf. Col 3,22., but *bi allata seems 
quite possible.  I've got: (all) alls; (in every respect) bi all, in 
allamma; "I am completely deprived" allamma gasleithiths im; 
(utterly) all-andjo (looks like a calque on Gk. 'oteleis, which it 
may be, but cf. ON alls-endis); (fully, perfectly) fulla-; (totally, 
very) ala-; (at all, altogether, for/so/therefore) allis.

VARIOUS "incidentally, by the way"
For bonus marks, an idiomatic way of adding a parenthetical aside 
(such as the proximity of swine), or extra little detail (like an 
incidental character's name), is with the particles -uh þan, amongst 
its various other uses.

aljaleiko(s) = "otherwise, differently" ("by the way" might be 
stretching it)

For electricity, how about some derivative of *gles "amber", as in 
Pliny's Glesiae "amber isles" of the Baltic.  I think this is how 
the Icelandic word is calqued, isn't it?

*katus
Or maybe *kattus < Late Lat. cattus.  The other Germanic forms seem 
to be based on this.

*hrabans > *hrabns?
