Reconstruction:Gothic/𐌲𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌽𐍃

This Gothic entry contains reconstructed terms and roots. As such, the term(s) in this entry are not directly attested, but are hypothesized to have existed based on comparative evidence.

Gothic

Etymology

From Proto-Germanic *gernaz. The word is unattested in Gothic by itself, and arguments in support of its existence are based primarily on the supposition that its extant derivates were formed in Gothic and not inherited from Proto-Germanic. Köbler lists the two derived adjectives as calques from Ancient Greek, suggesting the use of this word in Gothic. Parallel terms appear to exist in other Germanic languages for 𐍆𐌰𐌹𐌷𐌿𐌲𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌽𐌴𐌹 (faihugairnei) however, which may suggest a common Germanic origin for 𐍆𐌰𐌹𐌷𐌿𐌲𐌰𐌹𐍂𐌽𐍃 (faihugairns).
