Re: Etymology of rose / rhodon
No, I wouldn't doubt the reliabiliy of books from Tobago or Samoa right away, the only trouble is: you can't get hold of these books in a German library. That's all.But what I'll do in the case of "rhodon": There is a well-known scholar in Germany by the name of ROSA Kohlheim. Together with her husband she has written a number of very good books on names. I've exchanged letters with her before and maybe she would be interested in the rose discussion for personal reasons. I'll try anyway.Andy ;—)
