[gothic-l] Some neologisms

[Dicentis a roellingua@gmail.com [gothic-l]]

Here are some neologisms, based on the combination of words in most
languages

Triangle = þrijawaihsta
Rectangle = fidurwaihsta (I base this on *fidur *being used in compound
words instead of fidwor)
Question = fraihna
Inscription = inmeleins (Latin has in + scriptionem (writing), so in +
writing in Gothic)
International = miþþiudisks (Based on Russian mezhdunarodnwee, which
combines *between + people*, the logical translation in Gothic would be
miþþiudisks, but I 'm not sure about the -isks after þiud(a), it seemed
however as the best way to turn this in an adjective, as þiuds doesn't
sound well)
qenisks = feminine, womanly, based on (mannisks)
internet = miþnatja (I think a combination between *between + net *in
Gothic would be best, but should this be natja, due to the dative of miþ,
or would it become nati because it's a normal compound word?)

Old words, new sense:

account (on the internet) = kawtsjo
server (internet) = skalks, as the Latin *servus *means the same as skalks
website = natjastaþs, there is already general agreement on using this
