Something about timing

It used to be people thought the Finns and Estonians arrived in
their present position around 1 CE. There is archaeological evidence
of immigration at that time in Finland from Sweden and Estonia. More
recently the thery is that the Finns arived in the Bronze age. That
leaves one invasion unaccounted for.
The coast of and islands off Estoninia and Finland are (used to be)
Swedish-speaking. The traditional explanation is that the Swedish
speakers arrived with Swedish colonisation in the 14th century. But
in Estonia, for that matter, one might consider Danish colonisation
in the 13th century. Or, why not, assume that they arrived as the
immigration or conquest of 1 CE, in time for Finnish to loan from
Proto-Germanic (= Proto-Norse, in some people's view). All words
for 'boat' in Baltic Fennic are loans.

And, and I mention this of course only as a curiosity: on the
island off Estonia's coast Osmussaar, Sw. Odensholm, Odin is supposed
to have died. There is a Othmarsleben (t > Baltic Fennic s) in
Thuringia.
