<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Hello
Laglanners,</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Finally,
finally, I have caught our Ron out on a limb. I shall now commence shaking said
limb as follows:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Ron would
have it that, in Gothic, <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">faihu </span></em>meant
only fee or money. Not true. It meant primarily <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">cattle</span></em>, and the other meanings came later. See Koebler,
Streitberg, Tunstall, or any other dictionary compilations.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Interestingly, the English <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">fee </span></em>also means quality or nature of title to land: e.g., fee
simple, fee tail (mix of English and Norman French: <em><span style="font-family: Arial;">tail </span></em></span></p>

Hi, Arthurs,<br>
<br>
I'm glad you got a tickle and a boost out of that.<br>
<br>
I didn't bother going beyond the <i>Oxford English Dictionary</i>, and that's
what it said.<br>
<br>
Thanks for the correction.<br><br>This ain't the only precarious limb I'm on right now.<br>
