Re: [tied] Sarmatians in Hungary

It may be worth noting that while the first three items are indubitably Iranian, with closely matching forms in Ossetic, the word jajca (<jayca>) is as indubitably 100% Slavic (plural of *jajce, diminutive of *jaje < PSl *a:jo- 'egg').

After conducting a quick internet search, I could only come up with a few words from the list: daban horz (good day) dan = aqua (water) fus = oves (sheep) jayca = oua (eggs) As well as the following source: Julius NEMETH, Eine Woerterliste der Jassen, der Ungarlaendischen Alanen, Berlin 1959 (in: Abhandlungen der Deutschen Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, Jahrgang 1958, Nr. 4). - Chris GWinn
