πŒΊπŒΉπŒ½πŒ³πŒΉπŒ½πƒ

Gothic

Etymology

From (a form closely related to) Proto-Germanic *kinΓΎiz with the suffix -πŒ½πƒ (-ns), as in πŒΈπŒΉπŒΏπŒ³πŒ°πŒ½πƒ (ΓΎiudans).

Noun

πŒΊπŒΉπŒ½πŒ³πŒΉπŒ½πƒ β€’ (kindins) m

  1. governor (of the Roman Empire)

Usage notes

  • In its attested usage in the Gothic Bible, this term translates New Testament Greek ἑγΡμών (hΔ“gemαΉ“n, β€œgovernor”), referring to the rank of Pontius Pilate. It is very likely the term had a more general meaning in Gothic usage outside of the Bible, but any such usage is unattested; the etymology suggests that the title originally referred to the leader of a smaller polity or clan.
