Re: Krak and his dragon

He doesn't actually say so. He only speaks about the story of Rodulf
the Herulian having been absorbed into the Danish tradition and
applied to Hrólfr Kraki of Denmark. Kraki may mean 'thin pole', but
not 'thin Pole'. Nevertheless, it's interesting to note that such a
nickname (*krako:(n) is attested in Germanic. Maybe our legendary
Krak was a Vandalic leader (his daughter's name was Wanda).
