Indeed, I have to admit that this comparison is exagerated. I just
wanted to point out that the Vandals, as Arian Christians, may have
used Gothic religious formulae, just like the Hungarians using the
Greek "Kyrie eleison" or the Turks using the Arabic "Allah akbar" or
the Japanese using the Sanskritic "Namu Amida".
