OE was a productive suffix, so this is really just. -- 04:17, 7 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, delete, this is one word too much for Proto-Germanic. We have one word  held by extra-Germanic cognates, held by broad and dense attestation, and then we have  with only West-Germanic descendants for which I see no convincing etymology here, probably a replacement term, and in Old English there has been a replacement term again with, and in English and other Germanic languages again from Latin, . Probably  also had this meaning, already 🇨🇬. Do we know the Gothic, anyway? I don’t find it on the run. With the observation of how the word replacements run, you or  probably wants to make 🇨🇬 🇨🇬.

 * No, no Gothic word for testicle is attested. (Consider that basically the entire corpus consists of parts of a Bible translation (mostly NT) and a theological tractate.) — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:05, 8 April 2020 (UTC)
 * One needs a bit more knowledge that that! Deuteronomy 23:1 refers to 'crushed testicles!  There's also a rule in the Pentateuch about grabbing testicles in a fight. --RichardW57 (talk) 09:22, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, unfortunately the raunchier parts of the Bible have not survived in Gothic as mentioned - the NT is for the most part quite tame. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 09:42, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
 * The only parts of the Gothic-language Old Testament that survive are a few passages from Nehemiah chapters 5, 6, and 7. —Mahāgaja · talk 09:46, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
