[gothic-l] Gen. 3

[M. Carver]

Hails

Here is the next humble installment which I subject to your scrutiny in
expectation of many corrections, though I swear I can see no need now,
having combed it several times. It is inevitable that there are errors; this
I have learned by experience. Hopefully together we will learn to err less
and less often.
