We are detectives here and detectives are not allowed (or shall we say, strongly dissuaded from) the belief in coincidence.

On that note, Phoenix is a Latin-lettered rendering of a Greek word in Greek letters. If you actually transcribed the letters Phi (initial) and Chi (endling) to the ones that produced the same or very similar sound in, let's say Italy a few hundred to a thousand years ago, you arrive at Venice.

Venice and Phoenix were homophone, so were Phoenicia and Venecia. Heck, they're still pretty much homophone.

Also interesting if you follw the lion of the Venetian Republic to the british isles, also the flag of the Republic of Genoa which we all know by a different name.

Both city-states had a standing as sovereign states within the Holy Roman Empire similar to other entities within our contemporary "4th" Roman Empire, the Vatican, the City of London and Washington D.C.

Oh, another thing: How about the "coincidence" that Phoenicians, Venicians and …Phoekings used similar boats and sails?

When I was young and nescient, I wondered why the German colors on the queen's guard. And the Prussian "Pickelhauben".

Albion is homophon with Albien, German "Elbien" (where Iive, btw), the lands of the river Elbe, Latin "Alba", hinting at a time in the past, probably much more recent than history writers would have us believe, when Albion went from today's upper Saxony down to wherever Alba led into the Atlantic Ocean. In the old days, B was often soft and indistinguishable from a V (German W), from those days we have names like Alva, Alwin, Elwina, Alves – and, of course, that is where Tolkien got his Elves from.

Of course, the family (de/von) Rothschild is a serving family. Whose shield do you bear, whose banner do you carry, whose flag do you fly? – Those of the one you serve.

To use different words: You wear the cloth(es) of your master, they are not your own. Do you understand, house elves? ;-) – As long as you fly a flag you are not free.

On the Coat of Arms of House Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha we see the venitian lions propping up the heraldic shield of Sachsen-Coburg und Gotha, red crown on top and the familiar Griffindor red and gold cloth, a griffin being a hybrid of lion and phoenician eagle, well…

…Just had to think of Asterix: Sometimes, not only do you bear your king's shield but your king on top of it. ^^ – Very good comics, much knowledge inside… but put to utter shame by Harry Potter. And The Lord of the Rings, certainly.

"We are the Vikings. Lower your shields and surrender your ships. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Your culture will adapt to serve us. Resistance is futile."

It just occurred to me that Borg, especially if pronounced british, is practically homophone to bulk – which is a German word even today ("Pulk", translated to troop, regiment) which also is the base for the Russian "bolshevik" understood today as "majority" but really means as we learn now, "the mass", "the collective".

In the old days, P, like B was often softend to F, where the English get their "folk" and Germans "Volk", nowadays understood as "people" when this is the German word for Pöbel (Engl. mob).

Langobardi is a "neolatination" of the German composite Langbart, Langobardi are "the long bearded ones" akin to Latin "barbatus", bearded, or Greek "barbaros", the same, which even today is understood as Romans and Greeks did: raw & uncivilized while always just meaning "bearded".
