Terwingi and Tyringi/Turingi

[Michael Erwin]

The Burgundians were in the area by the 350s; they could've  
introduced East-Germanic forms, and the Thurungians could derive  
their name from the same process as Thervingi/Greuthungi and (Slavic)  
Drevlani/Polyani (sp?). Some ancient tribal names (Volcae for the  
Celts; Cimbri for the Celts and possibly proto-Germanic groups)  
emerge different times in different places, and formation-processes  
probably explain more than borrowings would.

So connecting the Thervingi with the Thurungians is plausible but not  
necessary.
