 interesting, is there a clear cut selection of endings as to the tribes?

In fact the '-ingen' endings extent far beyond Alamannic areas, but
assumed some significance in distinguishing supposedly Alamannic '-
ingen' settlements from Frankish '-heim' settlements. But as I said
there are many '-ingen' placenames in North Germany. My hometown is
called Wittingen (North Germany/Lower Saxony) and is first recorded
in 783AD as 'Witinge', while old 'gau' (area) names in this region
are 'Doringo', 'Bardingo' etc.


cheers,
Dirk
