Where can I get a full list of all known Crimean Gothic words?

I remember seeing a Crimean Gothic word `ada' = "egg": its treatment of Common
Germanic "-jj-" or similar looks specifically Gothic: compare German {Ei}, etc.

We know Gothic words from:-
Wulfila's Bible.
Some proper-names from Roman etc sources.
Crimean Gothic.
Where else do we know any Gothic words or language at all?
