[gothic-l] GUTANI WIHAILAG

[Егоров Владимир]

To Francisc Czobor

Hi, Francisc!

I dare add a couple of comments to your translations 
of the word 'Goth' / 'Gothic' in diverse languages, 
specifically regarding Russian. 
(Probably you need to apply the Cyrillic coding 
 to see some spellings properly.)

>>> Russian: got, pl. goty, adj. goticheski

1. The Russian language has two adjectives for 'Gothic':
a) 'готский' [gotskij] that means general belonging 
   or relation to the Goths;
b) 'готический' [gotit?eskij] with the restricted use 
   concerning the late medieval (12-15 cc.) 
   architecture and type.

2. Old Russian knows the Goths as 'гъты' 
(attested in some treaties of Novgorod and Smolensk 
 with "the Gothic Shore and Latin Language", 13th c.). 
I am at a loss here for a transcription. 
Anyhow, the consonant is undoubtedly [t] 
while the vowel might be something between [o] and [a] 
though a sound like [o] is also probable.

Best regards,

Vladimir
