This article is very confusing. It presents the German Cutubilla and the Swedish Kakwkylla as the same figure. It then argues that the German Cutubilla originated due to confusion with Columba and Gertrude of Nivelles, but the Swedish Kakwkylla did not ("it's therefore unlikely that Kakwkylla was the result of a confusion with other saints"). How is it possible that Cutubilla and Kakwkylla are the same figure but one was the result of confusion with other saint and the other one wasn't? Kaldari (talk) 16:52, 10 March 2020 (UTC)Reply
