Anyway, these twelve Wendish (as I read in some book from England) or Moravian wifes, named for the Morava river ,no doubt had children. These children had a German father and lived in Frankish/German? ruled land in Magna Germania. Therefore they were Germans. The Frankish rulers like Charlemagne , Louis, Arnold etc all ruled over that land, or rather the local rulers pleadged allegiances to the Frankish and German rulers. When a king/ emperor died, they often tried to refuse pledge of allegiance for the land held in lien (in Magna Germania) and wars ensued. samples: 983, 1002 , 1024 , 1410 .
First recording of Wends ( and of Jews) in the later Berlin area was ca 720 ( Spreewaner and Havellaner ). Names used were the old Germanic river names of the Spreha ( German: Spree) and Havila ( German : Havel). Tacitus recorded the river names, as known to the locals. No one read Tacitus until the writings were found again in the 14th century.
Word meanings: Waner - woner is Germanic for a person or thing living in a space, such as German : Einwohner - inhabitants or German : Wahn -obsession (crazy idea living in your head ).
Old Prussians (Alt Preussen) had many Burgen , one called : wallewona. Wallewona - would translate to walls and inhabitants, therefore inhabitants living in walled fortifications (German : Wallburgen)
Prussians had three main nature gods : Perkunos , Pikullos and Potrimpos. ("Translate" those and see what you come up with ).
