Many thanks to all who opined on the etymology of the word
"Wuwelak" found in the German translation of Barks' <i>The
Golden Christmas Tree</i>. My students will have some things to
debate and consider. Professor Gerd Griese thought perhaps it was
just a nonsense word made up by Dr. Fuchs, the translator. Given
all the possibilities mentioned by Rob Klein and others, one might wonder
if a Jungian cultural consciousness did indeed influence Dr. Fuchs in her
translation. </html>
