Is that current German Trudey??? Which Germanic tribe is current German the closest too??
I'd like to find the comparisons of the Germanic Invaders like the Visigoths, Vandals, Franks, Lombards, Scandanavian Norse and Old English (Saxon/Anglo) etc..and see how simular they are to each other.
I'll have to really dig into the internet on that project . |

Let us not forget Hebrew, whose characters serve as both letters and numerals...
Aleph...one
Beit...two
Gimel...three
Daled...four
He...five
Waw...six
Zayin...seven
Cheth...eight
Teth...nine
Yod...ten
Thus the word for life ("Chai") spelled Cheth-Yod also serves as the number 18.
