*kinþiz. Compare Biblical Gothic
𐌺𐌹𐌽𐌳𐌹𐌽𐍃 (kindins) and (possibly) Burgundian
hendinos.
Usage notes
Other terms for people in positions of power include
theudan "king, prince, ruler, leader, chief, lord" (< PGmc.
*þeudanaz),
ceisar "emperor; Caesar" (< PGmc.
*kaisaraz),
froia "lord, master, ruler; husband; God, the Lord" (< PGmc.
*frawjô),
froinund "ruler, governor, commander, master" (compare Biblical Gothic
𐍆𐍂𐌰𐌿𐌾𐌹𐌽𐍉𐌽𐌳𐍃 (fraujinōnds)),
ric "king, lord, ruler" (< PGmc.
*rīks), and
ragini "advisor, counselor, trustee, judge, governor, ruler" (compare Biblical Gothic
𐍂𐌰𐌲𐌹𐌽𐌴𐌹𐍃 (ragineis).
In calques of Koine Greek terms, such as
fiduragini "tetrarch" (compare Biblical Gothic
𐍆𐌹𐌳𐌿𐍂𐍂𐌰𐌲𐌹𐌽𐌾𐌰 (fidurraginja)),
ragini often corresponds to the suffix
-άρχης (-árkhēs).
fadh "commander, master, ruler, chief, lord, prince; husband" (< PGmc.
*fadiz) seems to occur exclusively as a suffix/the second element of a compound, mostly in words for military leaders or local, community-level authority figures.
ric, on the other hand, is attested on its own despite also appearing in a good number of compounds, including masculine given names such as
Alaric,
Euuaric,
Geisaric,
Hilparic,
Hilderic,
Rudheric,
Uuiteric, and
Theudaric.
