*****GK: I may not have understood him completely, so
correct me if I'm wrong. Does Skok contend that the
word "mogila" (with three meanings: heap; burial
mound; hill) later metathesised as "gomila" (first
meaning only) derives from a "Thraco-Illyrian" *magula
(same meanings)? Hence a Thracian rather then Iranic etymology?******
