*****GK: And since linguistic interplay does not
require "intermingling" but can occur in situations of
close geographical proximity, we should also bear in
mind that Basternae and other Germanics had been
direct neighbours of Getae/Dacians for
half-a-millennium prior to the arrival of the Goths. A
sufficiently long period of time it seems to me.******
