Where are you getting these (1, 2) from? As far as I know, very little is known about Vandalic in general, so perhaps a source (especially for this spelling?) might be useful here. — Kleio (t · c) 16:21, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
- I base my reconstructions on more general East Germanic reconstructions and vocabulary, especially from the Gothic language. I attempt to omit the few heavily latinized recorded Vandalic words, in favour of these more Germanic (and less latinized) terms. BlackEagle78 (talk) 17:16, 15 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
- Copying Gothic orthography here doesn't really make a lot of sense though; why use ei (as in *Gaisareiks) to represent /i:/ as in Gothic, when there are spellings of Vandalic words and names attested with ei (eils, Geilamir, and indeed Geiseric), etc. where it (afaik) represents an entirely different sound? This inconsistency can only be confusing to the general reader. Note also that we already have -riks. There are also certain features apparently unique to Vandalic, which you can read about here, which may be relevant in devising an orthography for further Vandalic reconstructions (e.g. dropping initial h- in late Vandalic, and that article also deals with the ei spelling thing). — Kleio (t · c) 18:32, 16 February 2017 (UTC)Reply
