Like English "weeks", except that the "h" is pronounced like the "ch" in "Bach".
Nearly the entire extant corpus of Gothic is the translation of the Christian Bible made by Bishop Ulfila (or Wulfila) in the middle of the 4th century. Wulfila did missionary work among the Gothic of Dacia (modern Rumania), so it's likely that his translation reflects the dialect of Gothic spoken in that area at the time.
