a tragic event, despite a rather amusing coincidence, I found references in the search for the importance of the root word "Viant" from 1552 in a book published on the Internet: Jan Peters: Märkische worlds - Social history of the reign Plattenburg on p. 23:
In a game where someone loses two fingers should, it is "Viendemanß Spil" (perhaps derived from the root word Viant = MHG enemy) to the good old Fingerhakeln (to this day a long-standing "Bavarian" [! ] custom) traded haben ... ;-))
Dieser Zufallsfund macht aber auch die uralte Grundsatzfrage auch in der Namensforschung aktuell: "Was war zuerst - Huhn oder Ei ?...":
Vianden in Luxemburg heißt wahrscheinlich Vianden, weil die Burgherren dort für irgendwen
damals " die Feinde " waren ... (?)...
Die Namensträger VIANT [mit allen Varianten] hießen vielleicht so nach dem Area from which they came, maybe they were for
anyone "the enemy" - the Viant ... -
And for someone his enemy or foe, was and is indeed a very "dynamic" matter - especially in the Middle Ages and the centuries ...
Whether we will ever solve it?
