"women from behind the mountaines" was greek for slaves, "behind- mountaines" kind of like
USA "abroad" and "over-seas", that is, "foreign women"

"Slave" (probably) has it roots from the slavic part of europe-asia.

The vikings used a word which literally means "person in hard work"

And yes, banans, united fruit, chiquita are also important, even the Bill Thomas
tax suggestion for inverted USA corporations.
