[gothic-l] Re: Totila etymology

[Marja Erwin marja-e@riseup.net [gothic-l]]

Gothic reiks comes from a Celtic *rigos, which could mean king, ruler, or war-leader, and is cognate with Latin rex which could mean king.

-ric is short for -ricus which is the Latinization of -reiks.

-rix is the Latinization of -*rigos.
