Well, the sentence was found at 
http://haldjas.folklore.ee/rl/date/saksa/teil05.htm

and had been translated into deutsch as; "Ein mageres Kalb ist immer 
madig" ...but which word is to represent madig? 
Vaska?

Doesn't madig mean maggot-ridden... or maggoty?

Anyhoo... the word "Vaklan" ...that was the word in my dream. It was 
spoken almost as if it was a name of someone... or a name of 
a 'people' or 'tribe'.

...but now that I think of it... at the point it was said in the 
dream... was after some kind of battle. Maybe he was saying he was 
tired?


The thing that really bothers me, though, ...is that I do not speak 
these languages (only a bit of German and Spanish)... and I live in 
the middle of America. English is all I hear, day in and day out. 
Other than the occasional word(s) displayed here. I do not watch non-
english speaking films... I am just not exposed to anything other 
than english. 
...so where could I have gotten this word from?
It came up as Estonian on a search... but that was only for one 
spelling. Other spellings showed it to be Danish, Russian, Swedish, 
and something else I cannot remember.

...Teutonics... I know they encompassed a region around modern-day 
Poland... but what was the furthest extent of their lands at what 
time period? Did they have a language of their own?

And I will ask for personal replies to this string, as I do not wish 
to upset the topics here too much for the list theme.

Thanks, for those who are trying to help me with this.
