Hails,
I have a question about negatives in Gothic. In Old English and
Classical Greek it was possible to have double (or triple) negatives
which reinforced the negativity of the sentence instead of cancelling
each other out, as would be the case in Latin. Are there any cases
in Gothic of reinforcing double negatives? Does this occur in other
old Germanic languages apart from Old English?
Goleins,
Brian
