[gothic-l] Gothic/Old Gutnish

[Beril Haggman]

Keth,

I have in various messages identified 
my quotes being from Professor Sophus Bugge,
so I am at this time convinced that there is no
doubt who I am referring to.

Well, I am not quite sure that Professor Sophus Bugge
was very well known on the list. After my many, many
messages on his research concerned with Old Gutnish/Gothic
I think he is now reasonably known here.

Swedish Linguistics Professor Elias Wessén did not
seem very well known on this list (at least not to non-Swedes).
I think now he and his work is reasonably known on gothic-l.

BTW, In July this year the messages has reached a record high close
to 500.

Gothically

Please remember that there are (at least) two "Professor Bugge",
Sophus and Alexander Bugge. The latter was the son of the first.
When you refer to "Professor Bugge" below, you probably do so
with the best of intentions, in order to add credibility to his
name. However, Sophus Bugge is so famous that it isn't necessary
to call him Professor. It would be just like speaking about
"Professor Einstein" or "Professor Newton" or "Professor Bohr"
etc. But nobody does that. Because these people are so famous
that they are just called by their name. "Professor Curie",
that's another one.
