In the Nordic-Germanic languages, this is what it was called. Have 
you done the Kennewick kid? ;)

Sometimes the only honest answer is "I don't know" and that I was 
throwing out scatter-diagram information to try to make the thesis 
stick. To me, it's bullhits / if anything, Brock Vond represents the 
cosmopolitan, moralist American puritan, but it may just be 
conditioning.
