Andastaþjis "opponent", "enemy" and andstandan "to oppose", "to 
stand against" are certainly related, both etymologically and

the nasal too.

I suggest you just have to try and see what you'll get in comments ;-
). Seriously speaking, it would be great if people were more eager 
to share their Gothic compositions with the group. I'm sure many of 
us have some.
