<br>
Yes, these two sound changes are found in Gothic personal names<br>
recorded by writers of Latin and Greek, and seem to have been a<br>
feature of spoken Gothic in Italy at the time when the surviving<br>
manuscripts were produced.  The scribal confusion of `e' with `ei',<br>
and `o' with `u' affects some parts of the Gothic Bible more than<br>
others; the surviving texts are apparently based on earlier versions<br>
in which this confusion didn't exist.<br>
<br>

<br>
It might be that the loss of distinction between PGmc. /i/ and /e/<br>
wasn't a feature of all Gothic dialects.  Or it might be that Busbeque<br>
used `e' in some of these words because he assimilated them to West<br>
Germanic cognates that were familiar to him.  Alternatively, `i' could<br>
have been lowered to `e' later in the history of Crimean Gothic in<br>
some contexts at least.  I don't think there's enough evidence to be sure.<br>

<br>
One grammatical difference that Grønvik refers to here is<br>
morphological: the use of the pronominal ending in feminine dative<br>
singular adjectives (dorbize).  There is no evidence, as far as I<br>
know, that the Greek source influenced the morphology (variable word<br>
forms, inflections) of the Gothic translation, although it did have a<br>
big influence on word order.  But the identification of this word is<br>
highly speculative, so it's not at all clear whether Grønvik's<br>
conclusion is correct.  If it was a comparative or something else<br>
entirely (which it could well be), his argument wouldn't hold.<br>

<br>
The potential cause of the raising that Grønvik is talking about here<br>
is no longer evident in the Crimean Gothic forms, but still present in<br>
Biblical Gothic: [u] in the case of `sibun', and [w] in the case of<br>
`fidwor'.  And yes, the `u' in `seuene' could represent [v] or [w].<br>
<br>

<br>
Maybe.  One thing that suggests that Busbeque might have used `y'<br>
interchangeably with `i' is that it also appears in `mycha' (Biblical<br>
Gothic `meikeis'), where there was no following [u] or [w] in earlier<br>
stages of the language.<br>
<br>
> OPr maybe it raised from fedwor to fidwor and then u-umlauted to <br>
> fyder with weakened o to e.<br>
<br>
I guess you meant OCr (Old Crimean)?  That seems a reasonable<br>
possibility to me.  Either of these could have happened:<br>
<br>
[e] > [i]<br>
[e] > [i] > [y]<br>
<br>
And even if the latter had happened, it could have been unrounded later.<br>
