[gothic-l] introduction and a question

[Grsartor at AOL.COM]

Sorry for the tardy response.

I suggest for a translation of "Fire of life, make holy this place and keep 
out all evil":

"Fon þizos libainais, weihais þana staþ warjaizuh all þata ubil."

Perhaps "hina" would be a better choice for "this" than "þana", which has a 
sense more like "the" or "that"; on the other hand, I am not sure how free we 
should feel to use forms like "hina", and "himma". The surviving examples of 
their use seem to suggest that they were mainly employed in particular 
phrases, such as "himma daga", on this day.
