Usage notes

  • Interestingly, this noun โ€“ which is more marginal in other Germanic languages โ€“ is by far the most common word for father in the attested Gothic texts. The synonym ๐†๐Œฐ๐Œณ๐Œฐ๐‚ (fadar) (the cognates of which are common in other Germanic languages) occurs only once in the entire corpus, versus several hundred occurrences of ๐Œฐ๐„๐„๐Œฐ. (Both translate Ancient Greek ฯ€ฮฑฯ„ฮฎฯ (patแธ—r).)
