****GK: What was the difference between "the Germanic
language family" and "Para-Germanic"? In this case
between the Lugian/Vandilic and Gothic groups? What
was the reason for the difference?****

****GK: Fine. Which component was favoured among the 4
Latenized cultures mentioned above and why? Who played
the role of the British and of the Romans within these
four combinations? What was it about the "Przeworsk"
combination which resulted in the "Germanic language
family" while the "Oksywie" combination only yielded
"Para-Germanic"? We'll get to the rest of your theory
later. ****
