            <p>Hails,<br>
<br>
I'm afraid your email formatting is screwed up and I can't reply  <br>
below. The map shows dense concentrations of Germanic place-names in  <br>
the far northwest, i.e. the Swabisk area, a local concentration in  <br>
northern Catalonia, and few elsewhere. I think this shows that they  <br>
are better at identifying West-Germanic place-names than East- <br>
Germanic ones, and nothing else.<br>
