Unknown Word(s)

[Grsartor at AOL.COM]

About the likely Gothic word for "dream": this came up some years ago and  
there was actually some acrimony (!) between champions of the two suggested  
words "draum" and "dragm". I do not know enough to take sides, though I can 
at  least see "dragm" would have analogies in the Gothic for tree and for 
tear:  bagm and tagr, as opposed, e.g., to Old English (and modern) beam and  
tear.
