He used the term Daco-Mysian. He believed the Mysians and Moesians had same origin, and the y -> oe sound change in Mysi -> Moesi is reflected in Albanian.
He should have used the term Dardano-Mysian or something as he believed the Dardanians were non-Illyrian non-Thracian and also related to the Dardanoi of Troy, but he labelled their language as "Daco-Mysian".
He also argued that the etymology of Mygdonia comes from Mys-gdon with -gdon being cognate of Greek cthon "land" (as in auto-cthon), so literaly Mysian land/country.
