You can see this clearly, especially if you contrast it with GERMAN several rows up. Wikipedia has this tidbit re: Germania: "Several modern languages use the name "Germania" including Hebrew (??????), Italian (Germania), Bulgarian (????????), Maltese (Germanja), Greek (????????), Macedonian (?????????), Romanian (Germania), Russian (????????), Albanian (Gjermania), and Armenian (????????)." It's possible that Pauline's background is one of these IF she answered "Germania." Just a thought.... Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
