Subject: Re: How is Gothic 'weihs' pronounced?
A correction to the letter I just sent:
Middle English 'wica' variant of 'wike' from Old English 'wice', a variant of Old English 'wica.' I think I might have typed something else, or left one of the steps out.
Thanks,
Curt
Incidentally, is there any way 'wicca' and 'wica' could be the same word or related, given your what you said about Old English c becomeing ch in some words? I don't want to dig out all my 'wica' citations to compare the dates to my 'wicca' citations, but if wica could have spun off into wicca, it would certainly be a nice, neat ending to a long search (and ironic, since the word 'Wica' is the one that was changed to 'Wicca' for the modern movement you mention).
Thanks,
Curt
