I missed this;
-Stearns 1978: 37; quoted in Maarten van der Meer, Morphologie des Krimgotischen. Ein Vergleich mit dem Bibelgotischen, retrieved 8 January 2015.Until 2015, the only non-Busbecqian additions to this very small corpus are two potentially Crimean Gothic terms from other sources: the first is a proper name, Harfidel, found in a Hebrew inscription on a grave stone dating from the 5th century AD; the second word, razn ("house"), may have lived on as a loan word meaning "roof lath" in the Crimean Tatar language

I've read on skadi (as a guest, since Im no member there) on the Dutch section old posts from a guy who claimed that Russian language devolped from East Germanic. Pesonly I consider it as a load of crap, the user in question who made these claims goes by the name of Aistulf or something like that. Dont know the guy but found it rather amusing.
