I'd appreciate your suggestions of a Gothic word for a "female 
angel". I would think of two possibilities: simply *aggilus F. -u 
(declined like handus) or, with a feminine suffix, *aggilini F. -jo 
(like attested Saurini). Could the latter be *aggiluni as well 
(because of the u-stem)? A "little she-angel", could it be *aggiliko 
F. -on? And, since we are close, what could be Gothic for "goddess": 
*gudi F. -jo (cf. thius:thiwi et sim.), ansuni F. -jo (ON asynja F. -
jon) or smth else?

Thanks!
