Gothic

In Gothic , this word appears in its basic grammatical form as noun þiuda and as adverbial form þiudisko . Source texts are the fragments of the Bible translation of the Gothic cleric and missionary Wulfila , the Gothic Bible .

In Galatians 2: 14f. the Gothic Bible translates the Greek ἐθνικῷς (ethnikos) pagan as an antonym for Jewish with the literal loan word þiudisko based on þiuda . Elsewhere , the form fem. Haiþno for Ελληνίς = Greek (Mk. 7:26) is used for pagan without creating a special meaningful contrast .

In the so-called “Gotenkalender”, fragments of a Gothic festival calendar from the Salzburg-Viennese manuscript , the two-part composite formation Gutudaiuda is called for “Goths”.
