Symposium: Saami and Scandinavians

[Johanna Laakso]

>From Eugen Helimski <Eugen.Helimski at uni-hamburg.de>:

Dear Johanna,
I received the information on this symposium from Johanna Domokos (now LA).
I am not sure whether it was once distributed also via UraList - and forward
it therefore, quoting you, "with usual apologies for cross-postings".
