I'm not sure that's quite how you'd say it in English...

Interesting question. Direct loans from Gothic are probably difficult to prove, unless there is no Old High German root for a particular word.

Here are some Bairische (not spelled with a y!) = Bavarian words that have supposedly links to Gothic:

As, Asen, Asem, Äsen (meaning „Holzstangengerüst über dem Ofen (zum Trocknen), Darre“) has been linked to Gothic "ans*", "anza" (Dat. Sg.).

"Ertag. Irtag" for Tuesday, from Greek "Areos hemera", 'day of Ares' mediated through Gothic "*Areins dags", as is "Pfinztag" for Thursday, gr. "pémpte hemera'.

"Dult" for a market fair is from Goth. 'dulÞs'
