When the discussion is about trade between two GROUPS of people - the
Norse and as per your claim, Inuits - then your erroneous suggestion
that salvage traded internally in ONE GROUP - ie the Inuit, amounts to
the salvage being "trade goods", then you clearly don't have the
ability to follow the discussion. It cannot refer to "trade goods" as
it is the group dealing with itself! In that sense there is no trade
as it is the same entity - I suppose you find that far to hard to
grasp.

The alternative is you are playing really DUMB in order to evade
having to deal with other issues you know nothing about..... *shrug*
your problem! Deal with it - go have language lessons, and skill
development in comprehension.
