East germanic words?
why is the governance the East germanic word for thing? If the Jutes were identifiable with the Geats it'd be proto-norse with West germanic influence rather than the actual goths and their East germanif language. 109.234.178.219 (talk) 08:28, 17 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Modern scholarship tends to suggest that the Jutes were identifiable with the Frisians and not the Geats. If so they would be West Germanic. See: Stuhmiller,  (1999. "On the Identity of the Eotenas") or Rix (2015 "The Barbarian North in Medieval Imagination") for a discussion on the subject.Wilfridselsey (talk) 22:30, 17 November 2022 (UTC)

I have changed the word to the modern English Thing (assembly), to avoid confusion, as there is not really a consensus on the actual language that the people of the Meonwara spoke, other than it was Jutish. Wilfridselsey (talk) 14:06, 18 November 2022 (UTC)
