Verner's Law applies here, and the Germanic word for "people" is *TiuDa- (T & D = English voiceless and voiced th, respectively; cf. Gothic thiuda-, Old English theod). My guess is that the second OBSTRUENT would have been rendered as Latin d (cf. Charivaldus), and the first probably as aspirated th (as in the name of the Goths, Lat. Gothae). I'd bet on something like Theudones.
