Proposed for Gothic.

Greek dialects which have these fricatives:
Tsakonian:
ΣΧ  [sx]  = [ʃ] 
ΤΣΧ [tsx] = [tʃ] 
ΡΖ  [rz]  = [ʒ] 

Pontic:
ΣΣ  [ss] = [ʃ] 
ΤΣ  [ts] = [tʃ] 
ΖΖ  [zz] = [ʒ] 
ΤΖ  [tz] = [dʒ] 

Cypriot:
ΣΙ  [si]  = [ʃ] 
ΤΣΙ [tsi] = [tʃ] 
TΖ  [tz]  = [ʒ]  (conjecture)
ΤΖΙ [tzi] = [dʒ] (conjecture)

I suspect that mdoern Greeks do not use Δ because for them it is [ð] not [d].
