[gothic-l] Re: is Gothic the language of one or a few men?

Dear Roel, 

 Note that the connecting vowel for i-stems is not -a- but -i-: cf. gastigoths, naudibandi. O-stems do indeed take -a-: cf. airthakunds, hleithrastakeins.
 

 Audamunds

 Although these are the rules as described in Braune's grammar book, the knowledge of Proto-Germanic wasn't as good as it is now, and I see more reconstructions which follow the proto-germanic like Hrothiland, so I would say, no, but in some cases this system is to be applied.

   So, for example, "hamstring" would be "hamaráips", even though the first element is from PG *"hamo^"?
