Me again. Just wanted to clarify that after re-reading the post by Frank
Verhoft, I believe his intent was to promote discussion on language as well.
I have not read the book but it seems to me discussion of a book entitled
"Language and History in the Early Germanic World" would be appropriate
here, at least to an extent.
