At my computer there's only a limited preview notice telling me that I
cannot view the full page. I had no idea, that Google's limited preview is
selective. Does anybody know which variables are involved in determining
which pages I can see and which not?
And what's the page saying? I guess it's something along the lines of "the
etymology proposed by X suggesting a connection with the Jutes of Denmark is
utter nonsense", is it?
