[gothic-l] about 'himma daga'.

[Fredrik]

Himma daga, today, is dative. The accusative form does also occure as 
hina dag, right? The meaning of this ain't know for me, but i've seen 
it. Does the genitive and nominative form excist? Even though it 
hasn't been recorded, how would they be? I know the word for day is 
dags, and dagis, but how would himma be in the other cases?

I also thought about the relation to other germaic languages.
The german word heute and the anglosaxon héodæg both has the prefix 
héo- and hiu- plus the word for day. The swedish word for today 
is 'idag', could this probably come from older 'hidager'? (the 
suffix -er is nominative).

If this is right, can this prefix be related to the gothic word 
himma, and whatever it is in nominative?
