Re: Why a creole is handy in Germania

If this Odin story is actually the survival of an early myth, might
the big picture be more about genes of an aristocracy than
language? Could it be about the 9th to 6th century
introduction of large numbers of large steppe horse breeds
and the migration of a large group of proto-Thracian speakers
from the Ukraine to Romania and southern Poland? This resulting
in an ethnic merger of Urnfield (Italo-p Celt-Balts speakers)
and Steppe cultures followed by a secondary shift from
southern Poland into northern Germany and Holland? This followed
by a side step into Denmark with the goal of controlling the
hub of north-south and east-west land and sea trade in all
of northern Europe? Would this have effectively removed most
traces of q Celt and common Balt in southern Poland, northern
Germany, Holland, and Denmark?

If so could this Odin, by another name, have been part of the
Cimmeri-Cimbri connection? Or is the Odin completely made up?
