Re: [tied] Jastorf

Something I forgot to mention:

If Jastorf is a culture that was "overrun", as was the Nordwestblock
area, by something that came out of Thuringia, it should be possible
to find uncompounded placenames in P- in that area (two-element ones,
with a first element in P-, of which there are a few in the Jastorf
area, might be, as Kuhn points out, later and "colonial", i.e.
derivative of a placename in P- from outside the area). The only two I
can find, using a good tourist map, are Plön and Preetz in Holstein.
The former looks promising, cognate with Latin 'planum' (Kuhn has a
Plön in the Nordwestblock area), the latter is suspiciuosly close to
the formerly Slavic Wagria and might itself be Slavic. Anybody have a
suggestion?
