Hello:

The Dutch Nazi greeting 'hou zee' was influenced and inspired by the
Icelandic greeting 'heill og sæll'.

Thanks, Theo.

For those who don't already know, this Icelandic greeting is derived from
_Kom heill og sæll, frændi!_, literally "Come whole and happy, kinsperson!"
_Kom heill!_ by itself can be used as "Welcome!"  Needless to say that none
of this by itself has any connection with fascism, except that the Nazis in
their "pure Germanic" obsession looked at Icelandic and its speakers as the
best preserved specimens of their ideal.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
