>For those who don't already know, this Icelandic greeting is derived from
>_Kom heill og sæll, frændi!_, literally "Come whole and happy,
kinsperson!"
>_Kom heill!_ by itself can be used as "Welcome!"  Needless to say that
none
>of this by itself has any connection with fascism, except that the Nazis
in
>their "pure Germanic" obsession looked at Icelandic and its speakers as
the
>best preserved specimens of their ideal.
