Hi, I'm not an expert in the Gothic orthography and I need your help. Could someone please tell me if there are cases of Go. mannan (acc. sg. of manna "man")...
Hails Walarawans, One thing is clear that mannan is always written in full in Silver Codex; I can't check other monuments now. I see however no reason why it...

Hi Oscar, are the many question marks an expression of disbelief or a sign that you are unclear about the content of my comment? Just to clarify, there is...
