Translating Getica (cerva) + Drus Griutunge

[llama_nom]

>> /Wulþuweiseis/ "The glorious Visigoths" – but there's an opinion
>> that it was rather PG. *wesu- or *wezu- "good" (with a lot of
>> parallels in other IE languages) which accounts for Visi(goths).
>> *Wulþuwisjus:*Wulþuwiseis?

> Good point, I'll look into that. '-wisjus' doesn't affect the meter,
but '-wiseis' will mean a change due to the short root vowel. Any
reason to favour one over the other?

Revised to 'Jah Wulþuwiseis' x / x / (x) (Sievers type B), on the
principle "if there's no indication otherwise, tribes can be i-stems".
