God
The earliest written form of the Germanic word God (always, in this usage, capitalized) comes from the 6th-century Christian Codex Argenteus. The English word itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic * gudan. The reconstructed Proto-Indo-European form * ghu-to-m was likely based on the root * ghau(@)-, which meant either "to call" or "to invoke". The Germanic words for God were originally neuter--applying to both genders--but during the process of the Christianization of the Germanic peoples from their indigenous Germanic paganism, the words became a masculine syntactic form.
