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? :-)
