neologism

About Gothic words for "religion":

A word translated "religion" occurs a handful of times in the New Revised Standard Version of the NT. I think the only example that survives in the extant Gothic is in 1Ti 3:16, where "gagudei" expresses Greek "eusebeia", which elsewhere is usually rendered as "piety". So it might be fair to express "Judaism" by something like "gagudei Iudaiwiska".

Another word to consider is Greek "pistis", which is usually translated "faith" and appears in Gothic as "galaubeins".
