[gothic-l] (unknown)

[Friþunanþs Alatheus Jimenez]

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 items. 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.
