[gothic-l] Vladimir

[Francisc Czobor]

Hi, Vladimir,

a little completion to my previous message, regarding your first name:
the Slavic root vlad- has the same significance like the Germaic root
wald-: "to rule" (Russian: vladit', Gothic: waldan, German: [ver-]
walten). But the Old Germanic root *hludh-/*hluth- (found, as you
said, also in Hloedr and Lotar) means "renowned, famous", and
also "loud", being derived from the Indo-European root *kleu-/*klu-
 "to hear, listen" (the source, inter alia, also of the Russian verbs
slushat'/slyshat' and the noun slukh). This makes more plausible the
connectin of Slavic "vlad-" rather to the Germanic "wald-" than
to "hlud-".
