Yes, Kuhn does, he wrote the article, it's from his 'Kleine Schriften'.

Erh, they? As I understand it, most if not all (you never know) of the
people who named those places are dead. Perhaps you want to reconsider
your statement about an Atlantic - Baltic Veneti connection?

OK, I'll check. The map is from Kuhn's article 'Welsch-namen zwischen
Weser und Rhein'. He's getting really complicated here. At first
glance, it seems he wants to see the Welsch- names as a continuation
of the Wend- names, so to speak a renaming of the groups before the
Germani; remember in his time there was no fixation of Veneti with the
Pomeranian culture.
