Subject: Re: How is Gothic 'weihs' pronounced?
Another blunder on my part: I meant to type "vaka," not "vaca," after the words "Old Norse" as corrected and capitalized for emphasis below.
I suspect that the definition for wica (wise) given by writers sixty years ago derives from Old Norse VAKA"awakened" confused with Old English waca "awakening," and Old Norse vika, a variant of vaka, confused with Old English wica, a variant of waca. In modern (sort of) Scottish, wice is a spelling of "wise."
