Hi Ingemar

Normally you talk about Gaut/Odin or Woden/Odin making Odin a 
development from one or two gods, but you assumed Gaut to have a 19 
years cycle. If you have nothing attested about the cycle of the 
German Wodan before the calender of Aun began in 476, how do you then 
know that his cycle was 8 and not 19 years like Gaut?

Isn't this a supposition too like Gaut?

Kindly 
Troels
