Strange indeed. I wonder what the extravagant, irascible Swede with the
fake Lapp clothes would think about our dispute. He might hit us with
his walking-stick, or name some smelly weed after us. Alas he died 225
years ago, so we will never know.

Fortunately there still is good old Lao Tze: "When giving names, one
should know when to cease. Who has this wisdom will become imperishable"

Cheers,

Jan
