I think those sound laws could work here. Can we propose a tribal name? *Giband-? *Gib(a)id-? Or the vowel might be explained as from the gradation Geb-? Or...
After all that discussion, and in spite of what we concluded at the time, Streitberg was quite right to print: qižandans žatei aiw swa ni gasehvun (Mk 2:12) ...

Hi! I am wondering about the possbile Gothic variant of the OHG name Uodalric (lat. Uodalricus). In the development of the German the line goes something like...
... *Ožalareiks. The similarity of OHG uod- to Go. wod- is only apparent. It's quite normal for Proto-Germanic [o:], long o, to develop into the diphthong...
Woldalric is this the same as Anglo-Saxon Wuldric. Wuldor. This is the closest I can get to Ullr. A Former English professor of mine who also teaches...

Hails, Wal(h?)ahrabn! Thanks for pointing out 'aizasmiža'. I'd forgotten that! I'm sure d'Alquen and Marchand must mention 'kaisar' and 'kreks' somewhere; ...
