for gothic words; atta

[llama_nom]

Some odd words for "father".  North Frisian has 'atj' (Amrum); 'ate' 
(Hindelopian), according to Joseph Biddulph "A Grammar of North 
Friesian".  Writing in Alemannic, the Swiss poet Johann Peter Hebel 
used 'aetti' ("Die Vergänglichkeit...", The Penguin Book of German 
Verse, p. 280-286).  Gothic 'fadar' is only attested once, at Gal 
4,6.  But there also the derivatives 'fadrein' "parents" (neuter sg. 
with plural meaning and masculine attributes) and 'fadreins' 
(feminine) "lineage, ancestry".
