[gothic-l] Ic. "Bill" & Latin addition

[Eric T Sasse]

   I'll add my two kronar.

   Isn't the 'offical' Icelandic word (being that of native stock) for car
'hreyfill', also meaning simply moving-thing, movement or engine (?),
whereas 'bill' is just the commonly accepted word, along the lines of
'banana' being used instead of, I think, the offical 'eldbjugin' (sp?).

   I was once told that all of the Latin words for 4-wheeled chariots
were Celtic, such as 'petoritum'< pedwar=four + rith=wheel, because the
Celts made the best ones. So along those lines, how about either a Gothic
form of one such Latin word, or simply translate 4-wheeler into Gothic as
well to derive car?
