Usage notes

The exact semantic differences between π…πŒ΄πŒΉπŒ·πƒ (weihs) and the far rarer πŒ°πŒΉπ‚πŒΊπŒ½πƒ (airkns) and πŒ·πŒ°πŒΉπŒ»πŒ°πŒ²πƒ (hailags) are unclear. The latter two however are only attested once, whereas weihs is one of the best-attested words of the Gothic language. Airkns (directly attested in the Ostrogothic sermon recorded in the Gothica Bononiensia) is only found in the Gothic Bible in affixed form (and then rarely) with an apparent meaning leaning towards sincerity (especially sincerity of faith), and hailags is only found in a difficult-to-interpret early runic inscription from an apparently pagan context.
