Margaret Faull's section on OE wealhstod from her 'The Semantic Development of Old English wealh' (1975): http://digital.library.leeds.ac.uk/133/1/LSE1975_pp20-44_Faull_article.pdf …pic.twitter.com/esVUFLBUbH
an occupational parallel with the colonial NA "go-between" perhaps?https://www.kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/james-h-merrell/into-the-american-woods/ …
