Atta Unsar: True Gothic Words

[lenno_cornish]

This is Gothic text of one of the fundamental Christian prayers, guess which one:

Atta unsar þu in himinam,

weihnai namo þein.

qimai þiudinassus þeins.

wairþai wilja þeins,

swe in himina jah ana airþai.

hlaif unsarana þana sinteinan

gif uns himma daga.

jah aflet uns þatei skulans sijaima,

swaswe jah weis afletam

þaim skulam unsaraim.

jah

I recognised it before I spotted your little intro. I know it off by heart as far as "aírþai", and can stumble on with it after that. Today (Friday) was the beginning of the 24-hour Regent Book Sale, at the Regent Theatre in the middle of Dunedin NZ. I had an eye out for Streitberg's Gotische Bibel, on the off-chance that the university might have thrown out one of its two copies. No luck so far, but it may turn up before the sale ends at 12 noon tomorrow. I did score Domus Anguli Puensis and some other oddities.

Great to hear!!!!!
still - what do you think about free and online grammar and material sources of this lang?

I've heard an idea that Attila, the Hunnu chief, means Atta (also Turkish word)+ gothic suffix illa - so it means something like Daddy.

I haven't really looked for grammars online. I had online texts of Wulfila's Bible and the Skeireins bookmarked on my last computer, but haven't got round to tracking them down again for this one.

I know about Bible - what is skeireins?

by the way - what we name as Gothic lang - western gothic or eastern? I think eastern one.

what do you think?

its the "our father".
"atta" means father, "unsar" is very similar to the german "unser" which means "our" and so on...

haha, who's having a good day?

I'm fine, just had my last day of school and I can't quite manage to be sad about that. altough I will be soon, I guess. So I should actually have been studying the whole evening but I just skipped that and baked 2 cakes for our goodbye party tomorrow.
And with you, life's being good? (sounds like it...)

There is a real black hole inside of my brain - but I try not to touch it.
I understand your feelings very well.
