Anyway, my point was to show that there is nothing mystical about this
Turicum into Zürich thing, and that the whole story can in fact be
understood and applied quite easily - that science, including
linguistic science, is not about mystics, but about making things
ordered, manageable and graspable. But of course, Heidi Graw prefers it
the mystical way.

Not really, phoglund, I combine the science, with the mythology, the history and the archeology. The science gives me the skeletal structure. The history, myths and archeology provide the meat for the skeleton.

If you see me focus too much on the mystical, it's because I've already seen some of the science, or someone here has offered a scientific explanation. I add the other things to the science to give it character. That's why I don't totally dismiss something altogether. The word has to mean something to be something.

Franz adds his flights of fancy to the science and comes up with something rather charming that nobody but he believes a word of.

You take the scientific information that you are given and flatly contradict it.

Go away.
