That has what to do with attempting to demonstrate your claim?

The tribe of Dan was one of the lost tribes of Israel and can be traced to this area of Europe historically. Many of the native names of
towns, cities, rivers, etc. have a distinct association with the name "Dan". As well as local folklore and legend.
"Denmark" can be interpreted to mean "Dan's mark", or "mark of Dan"......as well as the "danes" and "Danish" of the region.

Not to mention the "Danube" river.

I assume grasping at straws is a favorite past time of yours?

No, but tearing down "straw men" is....

Pointing at everything with "dan" or "den" in it's name is a straw man built of straw that has been grasped.

Yes, of course.....it's just a big, one in a million coincidence, that's all.
Words from different language families that look the same when transliterated or sound the same when pronounced have nothing to do with each other. Hebrew and Germanic languages are totally unrelated. You don't know what you're talking about.
You're confusing. Aren't you a Gnostic? The Jewish god is an imperfect Demiurge if not outright evil in traditional Gnostic thought but now you wish to claim the heritage and god of the Jews as your own?!

When you look at just one part of words, it becomes a shotgun blast of finding results just about anywhere you want to look. You could do it many different words and names, especially the way you bring up different languages. The odds I suspect would be much closer to 1:10, and a coincidence that is nothing spectacular. It's the same kind of word gymnastics the "Bible Code" is based on, and again you can do the same thing with so many other sources of literature (Moby Dick used to be commonly mentioned).

Sorry, I was just kidding around earlier.
...I don't know why people are big-dealing this.

Some people do some really outright weird stuff to claim they're Jewish. Not Noahide, but straight up one of God's Chosen People. Knowing the bit I do about such groups, I don't know if the behavior is based in delusional thoughts or narcissism. Maybe both and more. Stupid is as stupid does, but with those guys it's just damn.

Why not leave people alone and not bully them?
...You people are like sharks feeding off each others senses after smelling blood. And for what...??
This is a debate. What do you expect? When people make outlandish claims, they need to present sound evidence. If not, that's their own failure. There's no "bullying" going on here.

You know, @WhyIsThatSo, I totally apologize for my wisecracks earlier. And it may be partially my fault that this has gotten out of hand. Sorry.

Bull****.
...insinuating people are narcissistic and stupid isn't cool. It's ****ing bull****.
And saying you have the truth and everyone else is blind or too stupid to see it is okay??? You seem to be taking sides based on your own biases here.

The person I'm siding with now is a gnostic... I'm a Catholic... So what bias would that be?
Racial, ethnic, religious (you're both Christian)...You tell me.
