Also the Latin borrowing (at least for hard cheese)= *kaseis ?

This english word also found in domain of matjan?

drunjus seems to have as much vocal association as saggweis, though
the latter has been shown in sense of "vocal music". Is there a more
neutral "noise" or "sound" word?

> participate: dailaniman (sv. IV)
This could be an addition to the already attested: fairaihan (pp1
+gen.), ga-mainjan (w1 +dat./dat.)
also probably *ga-dailjan (?) from ga-dailja (partaker)

Words ending in English in -metry might rather end in Gothic in
general term -mitaþs "measurement, measuring" as opposed to mela
"peck-measure, bushel, grain measure"
