In my previous mail, I missread Ildibaldus as "Ildibadus" and analyzed the word as hildi- "war" + badws "war". In fact it is: Ildibaldus: hildi- "war" + balths...
Give me you best attempts at answering these questions. First of all, what is the Gothic version of "Thor" again? I know the best answer you can give me is...
