Amali and Balti

Mon Apr 18 14:03:16 UTC 2011

According to http://www.koeblergerhard.de/germanistischewoerterbuecher/gotischeswoerterbuch/GOT-A.pdf there is an adjective 'amals' meaning brave. Perhaps the name of the Amali would be Amaliggs in gothic, then declined as masculine a-stems.

The Balti have their name from gothic balths, meaning bold. In gothic they would perhaps have been called balthiggs. Declined likewise.

The brave and the bold ones.
