Gothic Lore

[Thomas]

Hails,

Since the early Goths had no written language (until Vulfilas) and the only words modern scholars have are from the bible, I thought that for certain they must have had an oral tradition.

This is probably completely lost now.  However at the time of the telling of the lore there must have been story tellers.

I looked through an online [http://www.oe.eclipse.co.uk/nom/egdhome.html] but could find no word that would describe a bard.

Any suggestions?

Tom
