well I ll have to go,
I will answer you later plz,
I just say the gennetical connections of Albanians shows migration from transylvania and the opposite,
about the au eu it is an explanation with greek.
the debate among Rusu and some other is stronger
as you see in Brygians we have a Greco latin Dio and a slavic Bog in the same deity,
Ok I am back
Now the case of Romanian ending to au ou etc
thry to compare it with Greek mycenean -eus Achileus αχιλευς -ευς
now try to pronounce it Be careful ευ ισ νοτ ε+ου ε+φ ορ ε+β meaning eu= ef or eu = ev
so the written is Αχιλευς but the spoken is achilefs
any comparison with Slavic names ? like anton ->antonof or antonov
antonov sounds familiar to you and antonof to me
Now watch greek grammar and names
Georgi-os nomitive
Georgi-ou possesion-genitive that ou becomes -ov in slavic or -of
Οδυσσευς (Odysseus) pronounced Odyssefs if you cut the -s is Odyssef
Now if I give you the Odyssef surely you will tell me that is Russian
but if I give you Odysseu you will tell me romanian
compare
Odyssef
Odysseu
Odysseus = Odyssefs
the -Dava case is the Grecothracian -Dona (might be celtic)
now watch
Greek εθνος from ενδος (Ενδυμιων etc)
Thracian Paeoni -edi -thuni (so it follows the rules)
Ενδος Endos->edi
Eθνος Thoni-thuni
the land were a tribe or nation is habited is Endymia Edonia (modern Greek Ντοπιο, Dopio (p v f) Dovio)
compare it with Makedonia
Mak-ednos Mak-εθνος (athenean pronounce)
Mak-edonia
so Χαλκηδων Χαλκηδωνος poss-gen means chalki-dona χαλκηδονα
in baltic would be chalki-dava
so the words that are strange to you follow the Thracian rules of south,
another example,
Thracian king name Kotis, for first view it is Greek, and it could be, means hard, tough,
Now lets change the -s to -c, we got Kotic, wow the thracians were Serbs it ends in -its -c
compare these Keltik and celtic it is the same word.
simply with Roman occupation we lost the eus and beacame eu -au
the key is the Myssian Thracians and Moravian old Slavonic
Myssians North of Troy are connected at least with root name with Myceneans
Myssians Thracians moved North to Moessia,
So they carry the Pelasgo-thracian of Troy which follows the thyrrenian-Latin language,
in Fact the myssianize a wide area, and that is why Romans found easy the 'Daci' language,
Moessia means Myssia
that is why half Romanian is unknow to you, and Daco-Romanian seems more ancient than Roman,
Now since Myssians are Thracians and that language is most close to Greek and Latin
means that we also have a non Baltic Thracian or Dacian, A minor asian Aryan and non IE mixed language who entered Balkans,
In fact same is the Brygians the Paeoni the Sintikes etc
these Thracian follow the Hettit ending (Hattussa) like Dacian Capital SarmizeGETusa, ending the -essa -sse -isa
watch the Odrysee Thracians, Odrysee not Odrava
now watch the names
Diurpaneus (-eus) (follows Achileus)
There is also a connection with Armenian and Persian language among them,
the story of the wolfs,
Alternate name for wolf is Dakos
Virb is δακιω (Ι bite, tooth as weapon)
noun δηγμα (bite of an insect) δαγκωμα (teeth marks bite)
Vrygian Dakos means wolf,
now the others who have wolfs are the Lycaones
the Latins
the Turks
and the south Greeks (many ancient had that name, λυκειον school of young wolves)
so the case of Baltic in the reconstructed as I said proves connection with Baltic,
But the case of the other Daci-Moesian known proves connection with minor Asia and Latin,
In fact the wiki is not connecting Myssian and Moschoi people with Moesian,
but in Homer we read about a thracian that in his last time he was searching North to his country mountains, beyond Moesia,
so the distinguish Getae could be correct
Getae could mean Goth and could be connected with Baltic or Slavic,
while Thracians could be connected with Balkanic, minor asian, and Black sea areas,
Tauriski (crimea) were considered Thracians
watch the 2 rivers Dneiper and Dneister one follows the -pera and the other the -stera (south thracians -see)
I strongly believe that Romanization and the later Slavonization from Moravian has change enough language and create a global slavic
the other case is the one I say Slavonization of South Slavic, or North Slavic
the import of Moravian Language to All today Slavic cultures.
a move to west of Goths, a move of west of Slavic, creates Moravia which language as Slavonic passes either to south Balkan, either to Baltic,
to Be correct and not misunderstood,
a para Slavic language or para balto existed in Balkans, or north or far east
but with Cyrill it is created a status, a lingua franca, that is changing the almost fade old Balkan languages, and sounds
so the -eu you do not understand is Thracian
Romaneus pronounced Romanefs or Romanevs
so the Greek, Anatolian Mold-aia becomes mold-aua and then Mold-ava
compare bucuresti with Albanian word Bukur both means beatiful.
the -esti is another thracian ending of toponyms, we find it in Greece also as paranesti in Greek thrace,
so Bucur-esti = bukur-esti
How yes no tries to connect Serbians with the Lycaonians, due an existance of a myth,
The old Lithuanian capital is Trakai, but I am not saying it is somehow connected with Thracians. Though phonetically a person form Trakai would be called trakas (Thracian) ...
the capital of the Dorians is also
Trikke
now lets return, to linguistic
the word is Flute, the musical instrument
well I don't know if flute means something
lets see the Greek word
αυλος well its negative a- and the word υλη υλη = material,
so αυλος means empty, nothing inside,
lets see how it is pronounced
avlos αβλος so again we have a connection of u with v,
lets see the back coin of view
Albanian with Germanic and Slavic belong to isoglosses
Lets the other side, The geate side, the gothic side,
as you said that -au that exist in romanian is not suitable or familiar with Balto-slavic,
lets see the other side, the German,
to you know any toponyms in North ending in -au,
I know 1
the river,
Greek δουναβης,
serbian (I guess how yes no will help us)
Slavic - Dunava ? Donava? ok -va
German Don
au so dacian -au could be Gothic!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lets see in Poland
capital is Βαρσοβια Warsaw why w and not v or u
lets see Warsau and Warsav
that -au that is strange to baltic is common in Gothic-germanic language,
that is why Greeks call the Daci Goths, Getae - Γεται (gete)
In fact I believe that Thracians in south are more slavic than the ancient dacian,
although your linguistic approach leads to Baltic, the other approach leads to another view, the one that ancients describe,
that dacian language as we see connects Slavic with germanic and albanian
if I follow the historical descriptions I believe that that a pre slavic or a para slavic came to balkans,
and passed the the goths,
Goths pushed west by the incoming slavic 2nd wave
which was pushed by the Non IE from east, like golden horde, avars Balkars etc,
that second wave passed west and east of Romania, living areas who were under byzantine Latin speaking christians, while the rest especially moravia became the Lingua franca of the new incomers,
so slavic people settle upon pre-slavic or para slavic thracians, and pushed Goths west
it might be connected also with the weak roman empire.
that -au is the link among Dacian and Gothic-Germanic
while some Albanian sounds like dh hrr is simmilar germanic
well i hope at least to make you wonder,
since so many modern linguists and the problem remains unsolved,
what do you say?
