AW: [gothic-l] Re: Gothic thing

[Andreas Schwarcz]

There does not seem to be a word for „thing, ding“  in the sense of a
judicial assembly in Wulfila`s Gothic. The Leges Visigothorum know a
„conventus publicus“, where the judge has to declare his verdicts in public,
but they do not give a gothic word for that, probably because by that time
no one spoke Gothic any longer in Visisgothic Spain.

 

Best regards,

Well, in spite of the fact that those heruls were not entirely svears (they
were mixed with many other goths and sarmatians) coming from Illiria, I must
repeat my doubt: thingi (old gutnish), so how is "thing" in wulfila's
gothic?
