Indeed. This is precisely the context within which the Pietroassa HAILAG and other straggling Latinized Gothic names containing <ai> should be viewed. So too the not infrequent absence of word-final devoicing of /d/ in the first 10 chapters of the Gospel according to Luke, likely the handiwork of Gothic scribe belonging to a dialect different from and later than Wulfila's.

 It is not improbable at all that there were many Gothic dialects with diphthongs and Wulfila was not the only person who read his bible translation. And there was no television spreading a Gothic standard pronunciation. Anyway a language with no variation at all would be a very pitiful.
