What do you linguists think? Should "welcome" in Gothic be something like wailaqiman or wiljaquiman? Going from this etymology of the word "welcome:" Origin:
bef. 900;  ME < Scand; cf. ON velkominn,  equiv. to vel well  + kominn come  (ptp.); r. OE wilcuma  one who is welcome, equiv. to wil-  welcome ( see will ) + cuma  comer

Or would wiljaqiman perhaps be wiliqiman?
