๐ธ๐น๐ฟ๐ณ๐น๐๐บ๐
Gothic
Etymology
From *๐ธ๐น๐ฟ๐ณ๐น๐๐บ๐ (*รพiudisks, โpertaining to a nation or nationsโ) +โ -๐ (-ล, suffix forming adverbs from adjectives), calque of Ancient Greek แผฮธฮฝฮนฮบแฟถฯ (ethnikรดs). The first element can be analyzed as ๐ธ๐น๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฐ (รพiuda, โpeople, nationโ) + -๐น๐๐บ๐ (-isks). It is unattested in the limited corpus that survives, but likely existed in the Gothic language as an inherited word from Proto-Germanic *รพiudiskaz. Compare ๐น๐ฟ๐ณ๐ฐ๐น๐ ๐น๐๐บ๐ (iudaiwiskล, โin a manner characteristic of Jewsโ).
