   To Fitlikeman. Sorry about top posting, but Cumbric never really "died",   
   many Cumbric words exist in Scots and even standard English, as well as in   
   place-names. Also English is nothing like Anglo-Saxon/Old   
   English/Platdeutsch or whatever else you want to call it. Ever noticed the   
   prelieferation of Celtic auxillaries in English? Is that how Germans speak   
   German?
