Back to Attila

[Your Name]

At one point in this thread, someone said:


<<"Attila", I am told, is German for "little father" and may be a  title
rather than his name.
>>



I asked a native German speaker.  His reply:
<< nope, i've never heard that word.. >>

Natives who beat their drums to drive off  evil spirits are objects of scorn
to Americans who blow their horns to break up  traffic jams.
