Gothic word for "girl"...?

[anheropl0x]

Hulþa and hulþo are weak nouns derived from the adjective hulþs. The modern cognates are hulden, huldig, huldigen, etc. All basically refer to a kind of respect or admiration. OHG hulden was the equivalent of French hommage, swearing fealty or loyalty to a Lord. As you can tell, the Gothic meaning of this P. Gmc. word is different from its West and North Germanic counterparts, but the meaning is still somewhat shared between the two.
