[gothic-l] Saturday

[Francisc Czobor]

But we have "sabbato" or "sabbato-dags" attested in the Silver Bible,
isn't it?
Regarding other expressions for the days of the week, from the Gothic
loanwords in Old Bavarian they could be reconstructed also:
*Areis-dags or *Ariaus-dags for Tuesday (<Greek Areos hemera)
*Pintadags for Thursday (<Greek pempte: hemera)
*Paraskaiwen-dags for Friday (<Greek paraske:ue:)
