Some suggestions and theories

[Stefan Wirtz_2]

We all know by now that you're absolutely convinced it comes from the East and that you categorically reject anything that doesn't fit your theory. But where can one actually find information about the background of your theory?

Funny turn.
It is not a „theory“ to remark that many „researchers“ stick to the Alpine origin without any good reasons and reject to consider other directions of Europe, i.e. the East, or as well the North.
So I have no special „theory“ about a point of origin where something has or has not to fit to — but everybody should keep in mind that many of VMS‘s strange details would also fit to works from Riga, Novgorod or even Trapezunt…

But if you want to: just check, for example, Claudette Cohen‘s approach to VMS. She is only indirectly mentioned here in the „solutions“ list (which provides enough examples for failed „westeuropean“ theories); even though CC stumbled at bit over Old Norse already and never made it really to finno-ugric systematics, she showed some things that are quite more important than Ellie Velinska‘s findings — without any intention of reducing EV’s work.
