It's very dangerous to reduce nearly 1000pp in this way, but there is this on page 394:


> ... der britische Stamm *tam -, jünger *tav-, wie wir unten sehen werden, eigentlich nichts weiter als 'Wasser, Fluß' bedeutet.


... the British stem *tam-, earlier *tav-, as we shall see below, really means nothing more than 'water, stream'.

Thank you! It appears to be a wonderful piece of work. But since I read German only very haltingly, could someone please tell me, in a very few words, what Forster thinks "Thames" means?

Regards,

Martin

For all those who have despaired of finding a copy of Max Forster's epic: the Bavarian Academy of Sciences has now put it online at https://publikationen.badw.de/de/008932911.pdf. Sorry if I'm the last one to realize!
