<br>
Yes, the latter, literally. Queer as it may seem to us, this was the <br>
way the Romans said it. And I think that Gothic with its syntax <br>
heavily depending on classical models could utilize this one, too.<br>

<br>
Yes, gabaurans is past participle, the infinitive being gabairan "to <br>
give birth". There's no passive infinitive in Gothic, only finite <br>
forms, synthetic in presence (gabairada "I/he/she/it is born") and <br>
analytical in preterite (gabaurans was/warŝ "I/he/she/it was born").<br>
<br>
> Why not faura Xristáu ŝamma gabáuranim?<br>
<br>
ŝamma gabauranin? Hmm... Wouldn't this imply that besides the born <br>
Christ there was also an unborn one? Ever heard of Gothic <br>
gnostics? :) I remember similar examples in the Bible without the <br>
article, e.g. at andanahtja ŝan waurŝanamma. <br>
