Hi, Andy, sorry i missed that last line, on your kind offer of more on "Bil". What i'm trying to establish is if the useage of Bil (when it means interspace), is usuage as in a name?
My mother tongue is English, in England at school you normally get a mininal choice of languages to learn:- French, German or if your lucky a further choice of Spanish or Italian, but as to nordic languages no chance!
I live in East Anglia (as in the kingdom of the East Angles) and it is covered with places meaning the tun of (the Anglo Saxon)personnel name.
Whilst i can work out the meaning of the place name, i cannot when it comes to the personnel name behind the ownership?
Like, i lived in Pakefield, meaning Pacca's field (Old Norse) But what does Pacca mean??? and so on.
Thanks you help, always appreciated, regards Bagpus (Paul)
