Before we can find any confirmation, we first have to come up with some speculations... and I think I’ve shown here quite clearly that “gaismilch” is a very unlikely speculation. To many unusual asumptions.
And then I simply wrote that Age’s idea is very plausible because it’s very easy to read with far fewer assumptions. As far as I know, that’s a typical way of thinking in science.
And you know that I do NOT agree with most of Age’s assumptions
The next task would be to find a "ez /tz” = "es" in a German text from that period that looks similar to a “g.” And that will be difficult because, first, there aren't that many German texts from that period—most are in Latin. Second, this spelling must also appear in a normal and fast handwritten text (!)—i.e., which makes it even harder to find it.
It's not important enough to me to spend weeks looking into it, with an uncertain outcome... I find it plausible, and that's enough for me...
