[gothic-l] Re: A Vandal language list (rather long)

[dirk at SMRA.CO.UK]

Hi, 

there is a huge research project at the University of Duisburg 
(Germany) on this  subject called "nomen et gens" as part of a project 
called 'gens alamannorum' which compiles  Germanic personal names of 
all Germanic tribes, with the aim to analyse them and to make them 
available electronically. The following link takes you to the project 
and sets out the scientific criteria etc. Maybe you want to get in 
contact with them to avaoid dublicating work.
