But who claims that the Romanian verbs "înnoi" and
"înhaita" are adapted Gothic words? And on what is
based this interpretation?

It wasn't clear at all (let alone "absolutely" clear).
Since, after those 2-3 lines containing no explanation, you
added many more lines referring to later circumstances:
Vlach communities in South Slavic environments; you
referred to Johann Filstich's work on Vlach's history
as well as to info by Sextil Puscariu pertaining to
Vlach rural life in the... eighteenth century. But no
hint as to why Rum. prep. "în" (in) + adj. plur. "noi"
(new) should have had a Gothic model in order to create
the verb "înnoí, înnoíre".

So, one can easily be misled - esp. upon reading this:
<<Or regardign the North of Danube, specially in Transilvania,
do you have any information of "late" way of life of valahians
with the germanics , hungarian in Transylvania?>>

Those "germanics" in the context of Vlachs and Hungarians
were... Deutsche, and not Goths and Gepids (who had lived
there thousand years before).
