Niermeyer entry
You cited Niermeyer in this entry, but I've looked up the entry, and it doesn't occur where it should (somewhere on pages 463–4). What headword were you referring to? — I.S.M.E.T.A. 22:33, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Aha, yes. It is under “castaldio, castaldius, castaldus.” I edited this in conjunction with castaldus. — JohnC5 22:42, 25 April 2015 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, the entirety of that entry is just “castaldio, castaldius, castaldus et derivata, v. gastald-.” which is the equivalent of a mere entry here… — I.S.M.E.T.A. 09:38, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Oh, wait a sec, “gastaldius” on page 463/2 begins “gastaldius, cast-, -aldeus, -aldehus, -aldus, -allus[,] -aldio (genet. -onis) (germ.): […]” (underlining my emphasis) and two of that entry's quotations read “Ego E. in civitate gastaldus.” and “Regis satellites et gastaldi Angliam spoliabant.”, so that settles it; I'll edit the reference to cite “gastaldius”. — I.S.M.E.T.A. 09:48, 26 April 2015 (UTC)

Gothic
Why do we consider this derived from Gothic as opposed to, say, Lombardic? — Mnemosientje (t · c) 14:14, 19 September 2019 (UTC)
 * An interesting question. I suppose because we know more about Gothic and have a related form attested. I don't have a strong opinion about this, however. —*i̯óh₁n̥C[5] 00:41, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
 * I've reworded the etymology somewhat. I think Lombardic is chronologically the likelier candidate, but too lazy to check the literature rn. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 12:23, 20 September 2019 (UTC)
