Sender: [log in to unmask]


Sorry we cannot help, we here are going home!   And do you mean
historical/archaeological or etymological origin of Stockholm?  Either or
both could be obtained from one of those funny old things called a book
(e.g. paper copy of 'Encyclopedia Britannica' or 'Americana' or
'Canadiana').  My colleague David McNeill and I have both searched for
"Mulwat" (online and on paper); it doesn't overmuch help would-be
librarians/curators if the context to the question isn't given - is it
Middle Ages, manuscript, etc.?  Has anyone enquired of Cumbria County
Archives?  There is an English Placenames Society, co Dept of English
Studies (or similar), Univ. of Nottingham (see annual paper 'World of
Learning' for fax etc. if not on internet).
