Apart from zéty ({{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|z}}), éty ({{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|e}}), đɛ́ty ({{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|đ}}), ɔ́my ({{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|ɔ}}), and cɛ́ty ({{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|c}}), all Gothevian letters can be directly traced to a Gothic-script source. The source of đɛ́ty and cɛ́ty specifically is a point of contention, as no unambigious source has been identified. The many theories include the following:

# Current mainstream theories argue for a [[w:Coptic_script|Coptic]] source for cɛ́ty, citing [[wikt:ϭ#Coptic|čima]] (ϭ) as the most likely candidate, followed by [[wikt:ϯ#Coptic|ti]] (ϯ). A Coptic source for đɛ́ty is more dubious, with the likeliest candidate, [[wikt:ϫ#Coptic|janjia]] (ϫ), bearing less of a resemblance than the candidates for cɛ́ty.

# Likewise, đɛ́ty is near-unanimously believed to be derived from a Cyrillic source, with most mainstream theories putting forward [[w:Tse (Cyrillic)|tse (ц)]] or [[w:Che (Cyrillic)|che]] (ч) as probable sources. Less supported theories instead propose [[w:Djerv|djerv]] (ꙉ) due to its alphabetical order being nearer to that of đɛ́ty. Djerv has also been proposed as a source for cɛ́ty as a more fringe position, alongside an adaptation of a [[wikt:yer|yer]] (ь~ъ).

# A popular yet unsupported theory proposes [[w:Gothic alphabet|Gothic]] [[wikt:𐍁|𐍁]] (90) based wholly on its similar form. This comes with a host of unexplained inconsistencies, such as its sudden shift in alphabetical and numeric order, and its missing usage as a numeral. Others point to [[wikt:𐍊|𐍊]] (900) as another Gothic source, but those are even less supported and outright rejected.

# Cɛ́ty is also sometimes argued to be a simplification of a ligature, such as {{lang|gthv|sc=Gthv|tj}} (tj), though this is not backed my historic manuscripts.

# An Armenian source can also be argued for, with letters such as [[w:Tsa (Armenian letter)|tsa]] (ծ) and [[w:Che (Armenian letter)|che]] (ճ) being put forward for cɛ́ty, and [[w:Cha (Armenian letter)|cha]] (չ) and [[w:Je (Armenian letter)|je]] (ջ) for đɛ́ty.
