Actually, highly numerous Romanians got magyarized. The Romanian
nobility completely. Many Romanians were magyarized quite
recently, in the 19th century.

Papperlapapp! As a true Traco-Dacist worshipper, you should
point out that the relevant territory also comprised Moesia Inferior
and Moesia Superior and perhaps Dardania (mentioning that roughly in
Moesia Superior once Roman authorities established the administrative
entities known as Dacia Mediterranea and Dacia Ripensis). So, plenty
of vital space down to the so-called Jirecek Line, even for the
Southern Romanians (aka Aromanians and Meglenites) who in later
times "popped up" even in territories beyond the Jirecek Line. (And
that mountain peak called Durmitor is far away, in a north-western
part of the peninsula, in Yugoslavia.)

Your recommendation is superfluous: you've already been told on
this list (as well) that the common Romanian-Albanian vocabulary
is seen as remnants of an ancient idiom spoken in the area.

[Moeller] naparca is the usual word for serpent my dear.

A snake. (Call a boa or an anaconda serpents.)

Add that it has a correspondent in Albanian: ne(t)përkë.

For what reason? Those who contest the continuity of Romanians
in certain territories of former Dacia assert that Romanians
learnt those hydronyms and topoyms from others. So, this is
where you oughta put something on the display exclaiming
"Wach yer man!" The mere existence of them toponyms hasn't
been denied by anybody so far.
