That I did. I've been given a reading list, and I will give you results as soon as I get hold on those books'n'papers. As for Jan's claim that the language in question is Polabian, I think it's not quite true. Polabian in the form we know it was recorded very late, and it shows considerable Germanic infulence. It certainly is the genuine continuation of the language community in question, but it's not very relevant to the discussion.
