The Sun: a female word...

[theudimer]

Hails

doesn't anybody knows if "SUN" is a female word in all gemanic
languages? Moon and Sun were both Goddess in the pre-christian times.?

Sauil,is a word neuter in Gutiska, but it was a religous tranformation
happened in Gothic People? Why in the rest of germanic peoples "Sun"
is female? Was sarmatian influence?
