<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">OK, seems more verisimilar than my pure hypothesis of "rae/raae"=red,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">with "Raae Beyten" and "Rautkaul" in the "Ramanken/Raamanken".</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">If I understand well, we agree about the part "manken" coming</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">- be it directly from modern "manken" = in between, "mank ander" =</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">untereinander/muddled mixed-up</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
