Re: Iller
Thanks for clearing that up,(can't trust wiki). That Iller word reminded me of "Illyria", probably with Greco-Roman origin, any chance that river Iller has anything to do with Illyria?

How about German wikipedia, Andy? I've just looked up Iller there and it's claimed that the name was originally Celtic, Ilara, explained as "eigel". I don't know what that would be in English - "fast flowing"?
