Excerpt from Commentary to the Germanic Laws and Mediaeval Documents
Zeitschrift fur romanische Philologie, but I held back an enor mous number of far more important results, because I was at every turn non-plussed by the fact that words which from the study of the documents could not possibly have existed before the sixth or seventh century, invariably turned up in the Gothic vocabulary. I was chagrined, because the facts were obviously contradictory. It never occurred to me that the Gibraltar of Germanic philology, the Gothic language, stood on a foundation of sand.
