In this thesis, I will attempt to analyze such phenomenon from a semantic viewpoint. I will put forth the hypothesis that not only GENNEG was an available feature in Gothic, but also that its traits as found in the “Gothic Bible” suggest that the phenomenon (already limited in its application) was probably entering moribund phase, and that it was, therefore, probably not loaned from Proto-Slavic but rather inherited from a previous linguistic stage.Show less

Due to the impenetrability of the data and its early date, this question is hard to answer. However, I have found evidence to suggest that the language of the glosses is not the same as Old Dutch.Show less
