[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Rumunki translation

[Gerhard Koenig]

> The stem Rumun does translate to Romanian. 

Thats right. In a dictionary for Polish language I can read:

# Rumun = Romanian, Rumunka (feminin), rumunski (adjectiv)

> What about Jan's email about cleared woodland?

Thats right too. The word "rumunki" in the foundation history of villages
has a special backround. You can compare in German with my entry in our
Volhynian forum: http://f27.parsimony.net/forum66914/messages/1092.htm 

... or with a very good source (in German too) from Walter MAAS: "Die innere
Verzahnung der deutschen Siedlungswellen, besonders im Raume zwischen Warthe
und Pilica", Zeitschrift "Deutsche Monatshefte in Polen", 1940/41, S.573ff 

... or in a very short form in English:
