	I have to admit to scrounging around and using Theo Vennemann's
lists --which are just lists of words he believes to be of non-IE origin
borrowed from Germanic languages. I have not finished yet. Among other
things, I need to track down more sources and check them out with the
Oxford Dictionary. As for guV-, you're absolutely correct, but I wanted to
wait until I had the correct form of the original.
