****GK: This is a well-known and amply documented
fact. We're talking about what occurred in the 4th-2nd
c.BCE We're not talking about earlier epochs.

Tell us your views, including the timeline, of the
arrival and spread of Proto-Germanic (as you call it).
I somehow suspect that after you've done this we will
be sighing for Torsten's Odinism as "the good old
days". But perhaps I'm wrong. Anyway, go ahead.****
