<p>[QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 4718548, member: 72790"]Question: what was the early Germanic term for the denarius in those Germanic languages, such as Ulfilas's early translation of the Bible into Gothic or as Alfred's Anglo Saxon or on the Continent? Considering that the word for penny in modern German is Pfennig I an guessing that speakers of early Germanic languages heard the Latin word denarius as beginning with a P sound and rendered it that way when speaking and writing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
