[gothic-l] William Morris' _Markamannans_

[galadhorn]

Heils, Friónds!

I am just trying to reconstruct the Gothic names in William Morris' 
book "The Tale of the Wolfings...". He has presented the names in 
the Anglicized forms, e.g. _Mark-men_, _Wolfings_, _Mirkwood_. I 
would like to ask you for your help in giving theim their "original" 
forms in Gothic. Can you help me?

Today I have questions concerning:

(1) E. _Wolfing_ : Go. *_Wulfungs_ or *_Wulfings_?

(2) E. _Mirkwood_ : Go. *_Merqawidus_ or *_Merqiwidus_ or 
*_Merqwidus_? (Go. *_merqs_ 'dark' + Go *_widus_ 'wood' < Germanic 
*_merkwa-widuz_)?

(3) E. _Thiodolf_ : Go. *_Thiudawulfs_?

(4) E. _Wood-water_ : Go. *_Widahva_? or *_Widuahva_?

(5) E. _Mid-mark_ : Go. *_Medjunmarka_?
