Conclusions

It will be readily granted that in philology, as well as in natural
science, terminology in general and nomenclature in particular
should become as internationally uniform as possible. In order to
contribute to progress in this regard and to reduce existing con-
fusion, the following conclusions are drawn from the foregoing
observations. I submit these recommendations to consideration and,
hopefully, adoption by my fellow philologists :

The words Teutons and Teutonic to be discarded from philological
usage once and for all.

The Netherlanders or Hollanders to be called by these their own
appellations, and not by the name Dzdch any more.

The name Dutch to be applied henceforth exclusively with its
original meaning and as the equivalent of the word deutsch. Dutch-
land, for example, is to replace Germany.

The noun Germans, like the adjective Germanic, to be used only
with reference to the Germanic race.
