Glad P åsk!

[Grsartor at AOL.COM]

I think we should be careful about drawing conclusions concerning the  
distribution "pask" for Easter. Is this word not likely to be from Greek  
"pascha", which in turn was from Hebrew? Compare the English words "paschal" and  
(archaic) pasch.

Glad  Påsk or happy Paska!   Maybe it is thinkworth that Swedish and the  
other Scandinavian languages use the closest cognate to Gothic paska. It 
shows  still a connection between North- and  Eastgermanic.
