[gothic-l] Digest Number 844

[Ingemar Nordgren]

Hi Reikhardus,

Many, many thanks for this. It is a wonderful map and I look forward to
a continuation. There are not so many names although and I know there
are more. E.g. names on Ring- and Rynek/Rynok and similar forms like
Ryngach, Rindau in Ukraine, Ringels in Kaliningrad and Ryndela in S:t
Petersburg. I have been working with a toponymic investigation on
Ring-names which you can find in Migracijske Teme 1-2, Zagreb 2000. I
hope you will feel encouraged to continue this work. I do not read
Polish but I had help by professor Maciej Salamon of Krakow to find a
number of names in Stanislaw Rospond's Slownik nazw geograficznych
Polski zachodinej í pólnocnej, Warszawa 1951 and Slownik geograficzny
Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów slowianskich, Warszawa 1889.I also
had valuable help from professor Piotr Kaczanowski at the archaeological
institution. I presume he is the co-author of the book to which you
refer. If you could deliver any kind of Germanic influenced name and a
description of it's geographical position I would be enthralled. Feel
free to mail me personally any time. My own book, The Well Spring of the
Goths, till now published only in Swedish, is translated into English
and lies at present with a publisher and I wait tensely for some action.
Hopingly it will soon be available for an international audience. Also
there I have included a summary of the investigation.

Best
Ingemar
