<p>Adnotata (some remarks on the translation and requests for your aid)<br>
<br>
ineptus "inept" = *untils (Lat. aptus = Go. gatils). Cf. also OCSl. <br>
loan o.tilu "no longer usable" and Go. compound untila-malsks.<br>
<br>
ignaros rei = unweisans waihtais. Other options are unwitans <br>
waihtais, unwitandans waiht. But the latter seems to mean <br>
rather "totally ignorant".<br>
<br>
uerbis acuere "to incite with words" = waurdam inwagjan. To <br>
translate acuere one could construct *nežljan (Lat. acus "needle" = <br>
Go. nežla).<br>
<br>
inexpertus "unexperienced" = unfraisans, lit. "untempted", here in <br>
the sense "not tested in combat". One could use ungakausižs too, I <br>
think.<br>
<br>
oportet "ought to" = skuld ist. I wonder is it possible to say <br>
gaqimiž, after Col. 3:18?<br>
<br>
bellare "to wage war" = militon. A tribute to the badly remembered <br>
[;-)] military pidgin (< Lat. militare), actually attested in the <br>
Bible. One could use Germanic weihan instead.<br>
<br>
uiro forti "for a strong man" = gumin swinžamma. Lat. fortis here <br>
perhaps rather "brave" than "strong" (it could mean both), so maybe <br>
gumin balžamma?<br>
<br>
animus "spirit" (NOT anima "soul") hic et passim = ahma. I've long <br>
wavered between ahma and saiwala. Any arguments in favor of either?<br>
<br>
satiare "to satiate" = sadans briggan (cf. satiari "to sate oneself" <br>
= sažs wairžan). Another possibility is gasožjan (used below). The <br>
case is either dative or genitive. I'm in doubt.<br>
<br>
hostis "enemy" = andastažjis. I was long thinking how to <br>
translate "opponent in war". Fijands seems too personal. Perhaps we <br>
should invent a word for it, smth like *andaweiha M.-an, but I'm not <br>
sure about the stem vowel and the next consonant, maybe *andawiga?<br>
<br>
qui inferunt bellum. This is a complicated moment and I'd like to <br>
elaborate a little. You know that Lat. bellum inferre means "to <br>
unleash an aggressive war", "to start hostilities"<wbr>, "to invade the <br>
enemy's territory". A literal rendering of this turn of speech in <br>
Gothic (smth like žaiei innatbairand wigan) wouldn't say much to a <br>
native speaker, I guess. I tried to find a Germanic semantic <br>
equivalent and I came to nothing better than žaiei farand du <br>
*harjon, lit. "those who go on a raid" (ON fara at herja). Other <br>
variants are žaiei bairand *harjaskildu "those who carry the shield <br>
of war" (ON bera herskjöld, is it fitting here?), žaiei slahand <br>
fruman slah "those who strike the first blow" (figura etymologica, <br>
ON höggva it fyrsta högg, iirc). Your opinions?<br>
<br>
adunatas "joint" = gaqumanaim, lit. "having come together". <br>
Galisanaim also possible?<br>
<br>
defendi "to defend oneself" = driugan, just "to fight". No attested <br>
Gothic word for "to defend" afaik. Or there is one?<br>
<br>
impetus "assault", "attack" etc = *ufarruns. Any better ideas?<br>
<br>
excelsa "heights" = hlaina N.-a pl. "hills". In fact, only gen. pl. <br>
hlaine is attested, it can well be M.-a/-i or F.-i too.<br>
<br>
tumulus "barrow" = *haugs, reconstructed after ON haugr. Other <br>
suggestions?<br>
<br>
nota uobis sunt "you know" = kunža izwis sind (word for word after <br>
Latin). One could go just with singular: kunž izwis ist, right?<br>
<br>
testudo "screen formed by body of troops in close array with <br>
overlapping shields" (Oxford Dict.) a term of Roman military art. <br>
To translate it was an interesting task. My suggestions are: <br>
*skildugards "shield house" *skilduskairms M.-i "shield of shields" <br>
(both elements alliterate, also *skaljaskairms, as Go. skalja "tile" <br>
= Lat. testa), *skilduhrot "shield roof" and, last but not least, <br>
*skildubaurgs "shield fortress", after OHG sciltburc glossing Lat. <br>
testudo.<br>
<br>
incumbite = atdriusiž. I thought of constructing *inkumbjan for <br>
incumbere (cf. attested anakumbjan "to lie down to a meal" < Lat. <br>
accumbere).<br>
<br>
inde ... unde "thence ... whence" = žaruh ... žarei "there ... <br>
where". I think literal žažroh ... žažroei would sound pretty <br>
clumsy. What do you think?<br>
<br>
solitus "habitual" = swikunžs "well-known"<wbr>.<br>
<br>
inlaesus "unhurt" = hails "healthy", "safe". Other variants are <br>
*ungamaižs (gamaižs "mutilated", "deformed", cf. ON <br>
meišr "cripple"), unskažans, *unsair as an adjective (cf. ON sįrr <br>
and Finnish loan sairas "ill"). Your ideas?<br>
<br>
uicturos "those going to win", "the would-be victors" = *sigiz-<br>
wairžjans (cf. attested swulta-wairžja "one going to die"). Another <br>
good possibility is *sigisselins (acc. pl. masc.), constructed after <br>
ON sigrsęll "victorious"<wbr>.<br>
<br>
telum "missile" hic et infra = arhvazna "arrow". Afaik Lat. telum <br>
may refer to any type of weapon, but predominantly one which is <br>
thrown or shot, it could well be Go. *spiut N.-a (ON spjót, OHG <br>
spioz) "javelin".<br>
<br>
fata "fate (goddesses)"<wbr>, "weird sisters" = *waiwaurds "ill fate", <br>
cf. OHG (Hildebrandslied) wewurt "idem"; also ON uršr, OE wyrd, OHG <br>
wurt etc. I'm tempted to use smth like *naurneis in pl. = Lat. fata, <br>
but am not sure.<br>
<br>
fortuna = *Wodans. This is of course an interpretatio Gothica (god <br>
of battle deciding who wins and who loses). Translating fortuna is <br>
indeed a challenge, can someone remember a Norse goddess of good <br>
luck?<br>
<br>
uictores = fraujans ("masters", couldn't find a word for "victor").<br>
<br>
adseret (conject. adseruit?) "proclaimed" = andhaihait (an example <br>
with accusatiuus duplex is in John 9:22).<br>
<br>
Meotidarum iter "the way to the Maeotides" = *Aujo wig (acc. sg.). I <br>
think it's rather useless to try to reconstruct a Gothic name for <br>
the Maeotides (today's Azov Sea), definitely it was not the Greek <br>
word, so I used Go. *Aujos pl., because Azov lied right on the Huns' <br>
way into the Gothic Oium paradise.<br>
<br>
armatos "armed ones" = žans *gawepnodans (cf. ON vįpnašr). Another <br>
option (sounding more poetical) is žans in *alawepnja (ON ķ alvępni).<br>
<br>
faciem "face" = andawleizn. One could use any of the synonyms <br>
(andwairži, siuns, wlits etc), every with its own fine shades of <br>
meaning (for example, andwairži hints more to "presence" of the <br>
Huns, siuns to their "sight" etc).<br>
<br>
adunata collectio = galisanai alamans pl. in the sense "all kinds of <br>
people that gathered together".<br>
<br>
euentu "result", "outcome" = bi žata habando gadaban "about [things] <br>
that are going to happen" (see similar phrasing in Mc. 10:32). Or <br>
maybe, bi *usgagg (as a calque of Lat. e-uentum)?<br>
<br>
tela coiciam = *spiuta gawairpa. If telum here = arhvazna (see <br>
above), then probably arhvaznos *skiuta "I'll shoot arrows", not <br>
gawairpa "I'll throw"? Can one "throw arrows"? In Latin, sagittam in <br>
hostem coicere (conjicere) is OK, but what about Gothic?<br>
<br>
otio ferre "to be at leisure" = gahveilain <sis> haban (attested). <br>
Another possibility is unwaurstwa wisan.<br>
<br>
All comments are of course welcome<br>
