Some fair generalisations about the difficulties with the biblical texts as a source of information about the language of the Goths, but see Streitberg's Elementarbuch for examples of what can be deduced. The analysis of the Lord's Prayer is selective in its evidence, and flawed in logic. Simply counting the number of syllables in a word can't show us non-native speakers, hundreds of years later, whether that word was "contrived" or not. Nor can it be assumed that any feature of 4th c. Gothic syntax which disagrees with 10th c. Old English must be an imitation of Greek; to decide what's an imitation of the Greek, you need to look at the Greek!) http://www.shakespeare.uk.net/journal/1_3/davis1_3.html Denton, Jeannette Marshall "Reconstructing the articulation of Early Germanic *r" http://www.benjamins.com/jbp/series/DIA/20-1/art/0003a.pdf Thórhallur Eythórsson & Jóhanna Barðdal "Oblique subjects: A common Germanic inheritance" http://www.hf.uib.no/i/Nordisk/ansatte/barddal/Eythorsson&Barddal-final.pdf Fuss, Eric: "On the Historical Core of V2 in English" (Gothic & Old English syntax. This paper avoids the flaws shown by that of the same author below and is well worth reading, both for its information about Gothic word order, and as an introduction to the methodology for making such deductions.
