Note To Part 19; German Question

I just want to add that one of the original members of the Swiss Confederation was the canton of "Schwyz" (pronounced pretty much like "shvitz," with a short "i," and it is not hard to see, or hear, how English got "Swiss"). The name of the country, Switzerland, is derived from that name. The standard German rendering of Switzerland is "Schweiz," which is pronounced like above, but with a long "i" sound instead. A "canton" was a term used for a region.
