  - OK, I’ll have it changed to *Stainagardi F. –jo (Gen. -gardjos after thiudangardi). Are Zambia and Mozambique of the same stock? Is it Bantoo?
  - What could be Gothic for “jingoist”? I’d think of smth like *aljahatja(nds) or *gastifijands (if it’s roughly the same as chauvinist or xenophobe). An opposite could be then *gastifrijonds “a person friendly to immigrants or advocating their rights”.
