Gothic influence on Spanish language?

[Jason Polchinski]

Dear David,

That makes sense to me, I need to brush up on my Latin : ). I am also 
curious about the root word of guerra (sp.)/guerre (fr.), since the word for 
war in Latin is "bellum." Is there a Germanic root there? Thank you for your 
response.

-Jason
