If we believe there is a connection between the -dur- of Hermunduri
and tur- in Thuringi, as others have done, then whatever that -tur-
thing was, it was something they had some relation to. With 'Sueui' no
such connection can be constructed, if I'm right, it means something
like 'the free, independent'.

At the same I had to juggle with too many identities, so I tried to
come up with a way to separate these on to separate fields. That's all
there is to it. Remember, it just a working hypothesis.
