The meaning of 'Deore'

[Stressed]

just checked the etymology - old English indeed Deor though seems to have Germanic/Dutch origines

I've often wondered at the etymology of etymology...

I have it on good authority that 'gravel' is Japanese for 'gullible'...

It is not from Old English dēor=beast ? I don´t know exactly. The other story is that comes from Deer, and annother history is that it is a typo.

Just goes to show how complex the English language is,so many influences.The Germans,for example,seem to have a word for everything we don't.But the English language has 3 x as many words as German.Or so I was told by a German born English/French teacher.
I'm sure any mistake made in translation would never be admitted to!

Only just noticed there's no separate heading for M737?Surely it's different enough from M732/M739 to warrant it's own position?
