Gothic influence on Spanish language?

[David Kiltz]

Hello Jason,

the Germanic words are usually regarded as taken from Latin _caseus_.  
The underlying form for the Germanic reflexes would be something like  
*_kâsi_. The Spanish word would derive from Latin by regular  
development *_caseo_ > _casio_ > caiso_ > _c(qu)eso_.
