[gothic-l] Re: (H)eruli

Hail Tore!
I just left your site, great info., and I am not in disagreement with
your conclusions.  But a question, I know that the names of tribes
can sometimes get garbled by the medievalist records keeper,
f.ex., "East Goth and West Goth" became "Goth and Magoth" from the
biblical "Gog and Magog".  That said, if the Romans are calling a
particular people "the (H)eruli", then who is calling the Svear "the
Svear"?
And, in your opinion, how do the 1st person "ek erilaR" runestones,
which appear during the same time period, fit into the puzzle, after
all, they don't say "ek Suear"?
Finally, where is Grobin, Apuole and Elbing?
