Hi Fernando,

Gothic 'asilu-qaírnus' is according to Streitberger 'Eselmühle', which
seems to be a mill driven by a donkey going round in circle. Hence
'asilu´is a donkey and 'qaírnus' is a mill. In Swedish mill is called
'kvarn' which definitely seems related to 'qaírnus'but the latter is
equipped with a Latin-influenced ending -us.

Best regards
Ingemar
