Greetings,

  Thank you for the warm welcome; this is the first Yahoo! group I have joined.  As my e-mail address indicates . . . I'm half Goth.  In fact I have double cousins that way.  My father's sister married my mother's brother.

  I have a very strong interest in learning about the Gothic tribes and how they eventually came to the United States.  Also, I would like to learn more about their strategy for battle.  Apparently, in their day, they were a force to be reckoned with.  Some of us are that way yet today; so the saying goes, . . . "If you hit one, you may as well have hit them all!"

    Hails! and Welcome to the Gothic-L!

    This list is devoted to the Gothic Language as recorded by Wulfila's translations and elsewhere, but it also has interest in cultural and historical aspects. We want to exchange scholarship, information and viewpoints, and some of us perhaps attempt to "revive" the language and "reconstruct" its vocabulary

    We encourage you also, if you are so inclined, to compose email in Gothic (though admittedly few of us are very good at this). Should you, however, wish to do this, please include an English translation at the bottom of your message.

    Of course, we expect all posts to be made in a professional manner, courteous and respectful of other members, provided with citations of work when necessary and other etiquettes normal to scholarly conduct.

    Most importantly, please introduce yourself and give us an idea of your background and interests!

    Gawairthi,
