 * That's the basis on which this reconstruction was added, as you can see in the etymology section. The first element - the here-reconstructed noun - is not certain afaik (so I wouldn't create a Gothic reconstruction entry *hazdiggs for that ethnonym), but the -iggs suffix at least is pretty clear in Hasdingi, as it is in other Latinizations of Germanic ethnonyms (Tervingi etc). Also note that the Hasdingi were apparently Vandals and not Goths, so the basis for this reconstruction is shaky: one could wonder if it should not rather be a Vandalic entry. (In which case a whole lot of other problems come into play.)


 * So, as with many ethnonyms that are only attested through the distorting lens of Latinization, there are a lot of unknowns. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 20:49, 2 October 2018 (UTC)
