Cristoir is looking beyond inherited Ingveonic/North Sea
Germanic elements, elements going back to the 400's or earlier.
He's looking for subsequent interaction between these languages
as well.  The development of the "self" word as _selm_, _sem_
etc. is an example of possible interaction coming long after the
Ingveonic languages diverged.
