Tit for tat, then, Adi! :-)

BTW, Steg, doesn't Ashkenaz mean "North"?  Nowadays "Det större Norden" is
often used to include the Baltic countries or to point out that one
includes Iceland and the Faroes.

In Lucus America is called Al-Maghreb-al-Akbar "The Greater West" in Arabic
-- since it was Tarik, who Here conquered Spain who discovered the New
World There.  What would be the Hebrew counterpart of that?
