Old stuff (heading added 4/21/2013)[edit]

http://historiakurgany.republika.pl/apo_plik/Lugii.htm If this has some of your sources, a sympathetic Pole might clue in us English speakers. Meanwhile this is as mysterious as a role-playing game.Wetman 05:30, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Pole = Lug (in Russian)[edit]

I'm a native Russian speaker, and for me (and anyone with sufficient knowledge of Russian) there's an an obvious and evident linguistic connection between "Lug" and "Pole".

Both words mean "a Plain", that is, a large, open area of earth surface covered with grass and free of trees and bushes; suitable for breeding cattle (cows goats etc).

Speculations moved from Lendians[edit]

Some recent authors would like to connect the Lugii with West Slavs, The word Lugi is by sound equal to Ludzie what mean the people in today inhabitant of the land of the antique Lugi. In modern Serbian, the word Lug means "small forest". Thus the word Lugii could indicate "forest people". Serbs have many versions of this word in use today, and all deal with forest, wood and swamp land. Word is also often used in Croatian, and it can also mean ash.

Ancient writers included them to Germans, but not Teutons. Others claim that they were a compound tribe, or confederation of tribes of different ethnicity. Most scholars though agree that it could perhaps be a mixture between the two groups.

Other point that Germans is now equaled with Teutons who exclusively asimilated the exonym Germans and the ancient Germans did not mean Teutons exclusively but rather Teutons are contrasted to antique or even mediveal Germans. The turning point in Teutons overtaking the exonym Germans was, in 19 century, the 'edition' of Getica by Theodore Mommsen.
