[gothic-l] Gothic in Romance Languages Part 2 (G-K)

[Friþinanþs Ximeneiks]

There are numerous Gothic loan words and a storehouse of personal names in Castillian (Spanish)
Unfortunately, I cannot take time to search for all my notes on the latter. Gamillscheg's " Germanischen Philologie,
Gamillscheg, Ernst, 1935. 3 vols." is a great source for Gothic borrowings in the romance languages,
unfortunately, the tomes are quite rare. The New York Public Library has a copy. I am including some items herein.
