gothic symbol KW

Post by sararunes »

Hello,
in your Gothic Dictionary, symbol before A that represents British Pounds L crossed, is this supposed to mean "KW"?

I have some comments. In Old Frisian I believe there are a few errors as follows:
lungene: lung
lungenskredene: damage of lung??
this makes better sense to be breath-secret-ing i.e. "whisper".

plicht: responsibility
plichtich: obliged to
ploch: plough? PLEDGE*
plochfretho: safety plough? (what is this?) better, PLEDGE-SAFETY, vouchsafed,
warranty, assurance.

spreka: speak
spreke: speech
sprekwerdene: mutilation of speech?
speaking-wared, to give a public speech.

Thank you to tell me what the gothic symbol represents.

lungenskredene

breath - schroeden shrouding hence secret in pseudo-english/german spelling

probably related to antiquated word "scryden" "to scry" in mysterious sense.
