4. Re: [LITHUANIA-L] linguistic nationalism [1]
The Germans speak of Deutschland, but do not get upset when we call it Germany. English speakers refer to Venezia as Venice, Muenchen as Munich, Koeln as Cologne, Warszawa as Warsaw, Hellas as Greece. The Lithuanians are the only people who think it is important that people speaking foreign languages conform to their own usage. English speaking people are more familiar with Vytautas as Witold, because the name usually appeared spelled in a Polish form historucally. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E

All this is nationalist rubbish. The Teutonic Order conquered and controlled all of that territory in the crusading period, and all the treaties between the Order and the Lithuanian Grand Dukes and Kings of Poland recognize it lying on the Prussian side of the border. Moreover, East Prussia itself wound up in 1466 (Treaty of Thorn) as a fief of the Jagiellonian Polish Crown, and remained so for roughly 200 years. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniel C.

Thank you, David. Zorah is eerie.....my Dad constantly swats flies and bees, even outside. I kid him all the time that his name probably means "flyswatter".

25. Re: [LITHUANIA-L] Fw: Lithuanian Onomastics [1]
There is no native equivalent in Poland to the two root Lithuanian personal names. Their significance in the Lithuanian case is simply an artifact of the happenstance of Lithuania acquiring fixed surnames just before (pagan) personal names of Lithuanian linguistic origin, generally, became extinct in use. A few exceptions exist, of course. (Most generalizations feature some.) The names of certain much-admired Lithuanian grand dukes, Vytautus, Mindaugas, Gediminas, Jogailo, Kestutis, Algirdas, survived in
