I don't insist, it's a free country, and
you are free to believe that the earth is
a disc. ;^) But, at least, how about stella
and steaua, sella - $(e)aua? And why shouldn't
the Romanian language be able to make out of
a [l] an [wa]? (Of course, only as feminine
forms, for otherwise *stellu- would stay
*stelu, *sellu- would stay *$elu. And even
<sarmaua> gets a [wa]<->[l] correspondence in
the plural, e.g. "sarmau/a rece" - "sarmale/le
reci." In Maramures they say to tânjala
tânjauã.)
