The word "hazel nut" has the meaning "muttermal" as well in Rom..
That is that birthmark or mole.The Albanian word for this is "lyth"
and in Rom. this is "alunitsa". So, interesting we have here in Rom.
the same word for hazel nut and birthmark which is "alunitsa" and in
Albanian two words "lajthi" and "lyth". The second one will fits from
the vocalism & semantism to the Rom. "alunitsa" the first one should
be explained within Albanian and if they are related.
So apparently what fits is the "alunitsa" - "lyth".
