German ethonyms

[Mikael Parkvall]

While we're at it:

>Other Germanic tribe names have spread as well - Goths, Vandals as English 
>non-geographic words

Actually, they sort of are geographic words, since I remember seeing 
somewhere that Andalusia < Vandalusia and Catalonia < Gothalonia. I can't 
vouch for the reliability of the claims, though.
