[gothic-l] James Marchand

[jdm314 at AOL.COM]

Man! I saw a short article on this years later, like roughly 1995-6, and it
didn't give ANY of the new vocab or texts he had found. I wish I knew where
we could get more of this stuff!
    And perhaps I should add "hors" to my Haloween vocab list, since the old
really loud and tacky ourfits that pimps wore back in the 70s seem to have
become not uncommon costumes!

<< The other day I found in my archive
 an article from Time magazine of 1991
 on James Marchand. Is or was he well known
 in Gothic language circles. He had invented
 a way to scrutinize documents reused by
 Italian monks to find underlying Gothic
 words. One of his discoveries of new Gothic
 words was hors, meaning pimp, believe it or not.

 computers uses technology to restore a trove
