that was why I thought about "King Ler". I knew just the King Lear of
Shakespeare and I have had no clue about the meaning. Cautiously since one
knows already about such phonetical similarities I asked what does the word
mean.
I agree with you, there seems to be no connection with "sea" and "ler
�mp�rat". I cannot say if the english King Lear has anything to do with the
sea or maybe too with a derivative from Galerius.
