Notes to the Gothic Version.

1. Jah is the same as yea and Ger. ja, though the sense sometimes requires the rendering, and: galesun, perf. of lisan, A.S. lease—to glean, galeithandan, pres. part. leithan, A.S. lithan, lead, Ger. laden: withra—against (cf. with-stand).

2. Ga-jukom from jukan to yoke, and, with collective ga, a parable as being a parallel, something paired.

3. Fraiw—seed, Eng. fry: 4. warth, from wairthan, to become, Ger. werden, common in O.Eng., and used by Scott, "Woe worth the day!"

5. Antharuth-anthar-uh, other, Sc. antarin, ither, Ger. ander.

7. Waurtins, a root, wort, orts (Shaksp.), orchard, Ger. Wurzel: ga-draus, perf. drius-an, to fall with ga-, cf. y-clad.

Af-hwapjan, to choke, from hwapjan, a variant of whopan, to boast, whoop-cf. a whopper, whooping-cough.

8. Akran, from akrs, a field, not connected with oak or acorn.
