'Vokshiq' above is possibly modern village Voksh https://mapcarta.com/13932128 , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voksh
Thanks for sharing!Just to show you an example such as the village 'Vokshiq' from 1480 which was somewhere in the Western Kosovo / Peja region, might possibly be modern Voksh or more north, these were Albanians going by their name 'Voksh' but all bore Serbian names or Christian names except for one:
Nikolla son of Bozhidar
Gjurko Popi
Vukashin son of Brajan
Vukiq son of Novak
Nikolla son Vuksan
Dimitri son of Dabzhiv
Vuku son of Radonja
Stepan son of Radic
Vukashin son of Rados

Stepan son of Vukashin
Stepan son of Vuk
Bojca son of Vuk

I might not of translated these Slavic names 100% correct but you get the picture.
Some suggestions:
In Lunik/Junik
MENKU
Dejan, son of Menku
Mihail, son of Menku
Menku son of Dimitri
Menku Siromah
Pepa, son of Menku
Menku, Menkshi, etc, should be considered as Albanian. You may contact Mihalis Ntinopoulous for a better explanation. There is a huge presence of Menku in the registers of the other areas.
Nenko, son of Merka
Merka too should be studied more.
Bardo, son of Bardash - Both Illyrian/Dardanian names, should be kept in a different folder.

Vasil, son of Gjura
Gjura, son of Nenko (In Botusha below)
Gjura, son of Tomeniku (Botusha)

Gjura is mostly in presence of Albanian names. Still in presence as a surname in many areas, especially Kukes.
