<div> I would prefer to believe that the
'saga' is from the earliest as much a part of Chuvash tradition - I would rather
say history - as that of the Anglo-Saxon, or in any event their immediate
precursors. Attila was by no means a background figure to North-Central Europe
& all its peoples. To be sure Attila had Turkaic as he had Germanic
hostages in his court.</div>
<div> & those who study works of oral
tradition are I am told repeatedly impressed with their - um - 'textual'
fidelity over generations & ages.</div>

the term itself has a heavy mythological burden. Grim, Grimr, what-have-you is
specifically an appelation of Woden, the crow-glutter, god of war, in his
wanderings among men. You will not know him, until for weal or woe he makes
himself known to you.</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2"> Hild, held,
haleth, what-have-you means hero, as it does to us today but in the terminology
of battlecraft then it it referred to the man who stands foremost in the
battle-line, a good place to meet Grimr...</font></span></div>
<div><span><font size="2"> To enlarge on my
guess, the name Grimhilda is suitable girl's name for a warrior-race, an
evocation both of the god of war & a position commanding utmost respect
