[gothic-l] The Goths from Gotland -- and gothic proto-vikings..

[Bertil Häggman]

Tore,

Of course there are different interpretations here,
but I believe you are correct that there is a strong
case for the Gotlanders here. As we have so many
times conveyed there is a strong case for Gothic
migration from Gotland but also a very rich trading
experience in Rus.

Gotlandically
