I see as usual the discution between us takes a path which is not
recomandable to continue. Let me dream my elephants, ok? I don't know
why you are in fact afraid. There are shcolars which demonstrated that
Rom. is the Latin lang. so, why stil bother about other opinions,
special opinions of dreamers? Let them dream:-)

I said that "azi" should be seen in relationship with "hodie" , I did
not said that "hodie" > "azi".
The "d" > "z" was plenty discussed here too and we learned that it
