By the way, I double dog dare anyone to state that it is not PORUSSIA but rather a bastardization. Step up to the plate if anyone feels froggy as I'm loaded for bear:


1878 Article - "(the word po signifying near).* - ESL folks

* - "Playfair tells us that these wild pagans were called Barussi, which he thinks has changed to Prussia. Carlyle gives Po-Russian as the derivation of the name "


1917 Article - Duke of Porussia for those that have English as a 2nd language(ESL)

Kind Regards,
