**** Hæ Bertil.

 This is interesting. Why do they say that.? Do they have any strong 
evidence/arguments for this claim? Are they professionals,linguists 
etc? Some info. would be appreciated.

In your very informative and interesting article in Migracijske teme 
and in  Alvar Ellegard´s article about the Eruli(Scandia) you talk 
about Otto von Friesen´s claims about the laws of inheritance on the 
female side in Värend-Sweden and connecting this to the Heruli.
How could he claim so?                                            
Very interesting because the East Scand. chieftainly families 
connected with skaldship,swine worship, etc did  respect women very 
much which is obvious when reading Barði´s book. Women of those 
families enjoyed a much higher status than normal in society.
That is reflected in name practices etc,etc.


Bless Einar.
