[edit]The names are Sprewanen and Heveller - why Sprevjane and Havolane in Wikipedia ??? The overwhelming majority of google search results and books show Sprewanen for a former tribe in Berlin area.
The same goes for the related Heveller in the same Berlin area
Why are the odd unknown names Sprevjane and Havolane pushed in wikipedia???
Title
[edit]In the interests of determining what the best title for this article is, here are some Google Books results:
- Sprevane: 3/4 (2 English); also used by Encyclopedia Britannica 1911
- Sprevanen: 1 (English)
- Sprevaner: 1 (German)
- Sprevani: 5/6 (non-English, 1 Latin)
- Sprevjane: 2/3 (1 Slovenian, 1 German; previous article title)
- Sprevjani: 1 (German)
- Sprewane: 5 (non-English]
- Sprewanen: 15/22 (German, 1 English)
- Sprewaner: 2/4 (1 English)
- Sprewaners: 1 (English)
- Sprewanes: 1 (English)
- Sprewani: 1 (German)
- Sprewjani: 1 (Polish)
- Zpriavani: 19/23 (archaic; German and Czech)
There is no clear-cut standard English or Latin name as with some other tribes; it is obvious that "Sprevjane" is not used in English works, however. I chose "Sprevane", as it has been used in Encyclopedia Britannica. Other alternatives would be considered, of course; there are probably other variations I have not considered.
