[gothic-l] Re: A few questions

Hi Seth,

For "Thor", I think *Þunrs, might be more likely.

I agree with Fredrik's "Wiljau kukja þus", except that "kiss" should 
be infinitive "kukjan".  I'm not sure about the word order.  
Maybe "þus kukjan wiljau" would be less emphatic?  But then again 
maybe you want to be emphatic...  There are some clues that where 
the object of the sentence is a noun, it would tend to preceed the 
verb (in natural non-Greek-influenced Gothic)--but pronouns seem as 
if they might follow other rules, so I'm just not sure yet.  I'd be 
interested to know if anyone has any more ideas about that.

In a word: live & let live.
