:I'm sorry to disagree, but I think that my answer stands -- there may be a trend in scholarship towards the more naturally Polish -slaw ending, but I think most English speakers still think -slaus. Michael's suggestion is the best way to deal with it, I think. :I would also like to clarify something here: when I ask for sources, I am not looking for an Internet search. There is no regulation on the internet as far as what people can or can't say; there is no peer review to ensure accuracy. You can't trust much on the web, unless you know the source. Also, different search engines find different things -- some require sites to register with them, for example, before they will show the site in a search. Wikipedia is in many ways an exception from the inaccuracy rule -- but only because there are casess where many people have an interest and knowledge on a specific subject and so try to keep it clean. To me, sources are scholarly texts and articles and, more importantly, primary sources. :As for the encyclopedia entries on the web that you cite as evidence, I'm not sure I understand why you've cited them. All they really are are descriptions of bishoprics...the fact that one is in Schleswig Holstein NOW, for example, doesn't mean S-H existed in the 9th century... Could you please explain on the Jutland Talk page how this supports your argument? Thanks! JHK |
