Proto-Bulgarian? It seems something is wrong here. Accepting the
proto-bulgarians took it from the inhabitants of the region , it still
remains a loan but not an word of "proto-bulgarian" origin. In fact this
word is not thracian at all or Dacian but it is assumed to be a celtic
one since the name should be celtic.
If I understand your point of view, the old form Durostorum should be
phoneticaly modified by proto-bulgars/slavs and just after this time the
word could arrive to valahians?
Now I ask myself which form should be the slavic one since in Rom. are
both forms used? The Dârstor or Drâstor?
