  Einar;  Hæ.                                                         

I say here(above) that this is one of Barði´s conclusions.   
I was not going to involve Barði´s reaserch into the discussion but 
tried to come with evidence to support my statements with the help of 
etymologi.                                                            
But it is not really fair nor possible to leave the discussion here 
without mentioning Barði´s conclusions. 

I was going to wait with indroducing his reaserch in detail. His works
 have to be studied. I have read his works. But that is not the same 
as a careful study to really digest his information.                 
 
That might be my task in the next few weeks(or months). Not all his 
reaserch has been published in English. I want to take a close look 
at that material too.

I just want to come with some information  relevant to the subject of 
discussion between me and Bertil in letters 5206 and 5212.            

I think it is more appropriate to move this discussion to the 
Germanic-L.
The letters name will be the same as above.

Bless, Einar.
