> Of course -lo- is a common suffix in Slavic, and *sve^tlo is
related to *sve^tU 'light, brightness, the (visible) world',
*svitati 'to dawn' and *sve^titi 'shine'. When you "come into
the world", you "see the light of day".

aham.. my I see the light, I wish it too:))
about lume= world
lume, lumesc are the only derivates i know in romanian lume=
world, lumesc= that belong to world.

about lumina= light
lumina, a lumina, luminitza, luminiscent, luminos, luminare,
luminarar,

well, if this is the explanation let it be. We do not have it
in germanic light versus welt and I have no ideea fi there is
in celtic, baltic, or skt or avestan such stuf..But I try to
consolate myself this is just a calque from the slavic
languages.
And if for old slavs the light was the world, then let it be
:))

P.S. I gust misstyped again writting slanguage instead of
language which I corrected, of course. But It was born the
question slang<lang. Is slang a composition like "short"
+"language" or what was the basis for appearance of the word
"slang"?
