LOL!

Well, I don't know if it's the repetition subliminally altering my brain patterns, but I do find this MOST convincing! Sounds logical to me. But then all the other ones did too, prior to this... I'm easily influenced... ;o)

It does sound convincing, but 'Waelas' or 'Waelle' is the Saxon for foreigner :-) Obviously, it could have started off using this and got twisted over time. It just depends when the 'Wale-dich' reference was written. If it's contemporary then I doubt that it came from foreigner.

So, Goffik, what do you think now? :-)
