Transcribing words into Gothic

Transcribing Greek words and names
=== In the Gothic Bible, Wulfila transcribed names which were originally Hebrew and Greek into Gothic. Unfortunately, when comparing the original Greek names there can be made up a few rules for certain. === The Latin alphabet is used to refer to the Gothic letters.

- The Greek letter ε can be transcribed as ai in Gothic (transcribed 83 times as such)

- The Greek letter π corresponds to Gothic p

- The Greek letter τ corresponds to Gothic t

- The Greek letter κ corresponds to Gothic k

Here is a table which gives a good view of the Greek letters transcribed in Gothic (Gothic letters are used), this list only gives an overview of the transcription, go to the chapter about Pronunciation to read about the pronunciation of these letters in Greek (will be added later). {| border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="article-table article-table-selected" style="width: 500px;" ! scope="col"|Greek ! scope="col"|Gothic ! scope="col"|English transcription

Transcribing Latin words and names
As for words, the Arezzo Deed is very helpful. The Latin sound -tio is transcribed as: -tsjo in Gothic.
