Rainmaker, as a history teacher, I liked your post very much.
From the latin "germanus", meaning of the same race. [/B][/QUOTE]
Wow, I wasn't as far off as I thought. Have you ever played the dictionary game where you choose some weird word and copy the dictionary definition, and then read the word out loud, and everyone makes up a definition, and then you read all the definitions, and everyone chooses the one they think might be correct? I bet you'd be great at that!
