Swumbaulo "Þishvazuh saei "

[thiudans]

Hails!

I thought it might be fun practice to translate the "Athanasian Creed"
into Gothic, the irony of which I hope many of you will not fail to see
& perhaps to enjoy. Corrections welcome:

Note -- Neologisms & unfamiliar meanings: I have chosen to use "in
ganistai wisan" over against "ganisan" to emphasize commentaries on the
meaning that support a continual present sense and not a future
completion; *kaþoleiks (a.) "catholic, of the universal church",
*ainassus (mu) "unity, oneness", *þreinassus (mu) "trinity; the
Trinity", andwairþi (nia) "person, personality, individual", *gudiski
(nia.) "Godhead, divinity", *gaaiweins (a) "co-eternal", *unskafts (a)
"increate, uncreated", *unfraþans (a) "uncomprehended" or *unmitans
(a) "unmeasured, incomprehensible [for Lat. immens-], *xristeis (ja)
"christian", *inleikons (fi/o) "incarnation", *ufstandands (an./in.)
"standing below", *manniski (nia.) humanity, humanness"
