century, events, deaths

[Lombard]

Dear Ualarauans,

I don't know what you mean by the last question concerning "jaarhonderd" :((( A decade is "tiental" (tal = number) in Afrikaans. Decade used for years is "dekade" or "tydperk van tien jaar".

For "century" we use "eeu" or "jaarhonderd" :))) (I think in Dutch only "eeuw" is used, but I'm not sure. 

Do you perhaps have any idea how "list of years" could be translated into Gothic? I know, quite a lot of questions :)))

Thanks dear Ualarauans. Baie dankie 

Groete, Manie

  taihun jere, perhaps. And "decade-long" (zehnjährig) is 
  *taihunwintrus. I wonder if something like *wintru-tigus "decade" and 
  *wintru-hund "century" are thinkable? Or is it the same as to say 
  jaarhonderd in Dutch or Afrikaans?
