[gothic-l] Eruli in the West

[Bertil Haggman]

Of course the claims underneath are not correct. What
is likely meant by Taylor is that it is not imperative to believe
or not believe the research he presents. He is letting it
be decided by the reader. If the interpretation underneath
would be correct I am sure Taylor would have engaged
in further comments. He did not. I found Taylor a very
thorough researcher and should be regarded as maybe
the leading expert on the Eruli. He is so to say with Neumann
covering the whole picture, from the beginning to the
end, in contrast to the limits on Eruli in Central Europe.

Also in the personal names we can find a Scandinavian
connection: "A Scandinavian connection is seen in the
name Hariso, only to be found also in Himlingoeje, Zealand,
provbaly feminine." (p. 469)
