And that's how we would normally put it in English, although "unborn"
is a literal reading of Gothic 'unbauranamma' [
http://www.wulfila.be/lib/streitberg/1910/html/B156.html ], [
http://www.gotica.de/skeireins/ ].

unbegotten: unussatiþs--ei nimai broþar is þo qen is jah ussatjai
barna broþr seinamma (Mark 12:19).

unconceived: unganumans--jah haitan was namo is Iesus, þata qiþano
fram aggilau faurþizei ganumans wesi in wamba (Luke 2:21).
