[gothic-l] Recommendation

[Tore Gannholm]

In "Gotland Östersjöns pärla" I only use Visigoter, Ostrogoter and Krimgoter

Unfortunately much of the older Swedish litterture is burdened with 
the invented namen Väst- and Östgoter. It is hard to get rid of this 
old legacy as many authors like Hermodson just copy older literature 
without controlling the sources (laziness or ignorance). Therefore we 
also find it in newer Swedish literature.
