 ==Introduction==
-'''Gothedish''' is a descendant of Gothic. It is named after the Gothedes (''Guþþyde''), whose name means ''"Goth people"'' (''gut'' (Goth) + ''þyde'' (people)). By folk etymology, it also means ''"God's slaves"'' (''Gud'' (God) + ''þyde'' (slave)). As a result of this dual etymology, ''Guþþyde'' may either be declined as a strong noun (in which case it is collective and is grammatically feminine) or a weak noun (in which case it refers to a single person and takes the gender of that person).
+'''Gothedish''' is a descendant of Gothic, spoken by the Gothedes (''Guþþyde'').
+===Etymology===
+The ethnonym ''Guþþyde'' "Gothede" is derived from Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 ''gutþiuda'' "Goths", from *𐌲𐌿𐍄𐌰 ''þiuda'' "Goth" + 𐌸𐌹𐌿𐌳𐌰 ''þiuda'' "people". Folk etymology derives it from ''Gud'' "God" (< Gothic 𐌲𐌿𐌸 ''guþ'' "God") + ''þyde'' "slave" (< Gothic *𐌸𐌹𐍅𐌰𐌹𐌳𐌰 ''þiwaida'' "enslaved"), in which case it means "slave of God". ''Guþþyde'' is declined as a strong feminine noun when referring to the Gothedes as whole and as a weak noun when referring to an individual.
