Piotr, that's a very succint statement of the expansion of the
Slavs from the fifth century. Would you make a similar one for
the time earlier?
I have a book "The Origin of the Slavs, A Linguist's View" by
Zbigniew Golab (with doodads across the L and under the A)
1991, which I much enjoy browsing through without being
competent to appraise. I'm sure you're familiar with it, I've often
wondered what your opinion of it was, and this seems the
opportunity to ask. As I understand him, he has the Proto-Slavs
emerging in the Middle Dniepr basin and expanding through
much of Poland before the birth of Christ, whereas you imply
they arrived in southeastern Poland (from the east?) some
centuries later.
