This has been confusing me ever since Piotr wrote something that seemed to
equate Occitan and Gascon. I had always thought Gascon was much more
influenced by Basque, as per the name. But on reflection, endings like -itz
in trobaritz sure don't look Romance, and sound more like Basque. What is
the story with these two: both have an Aquitanian substrate, but Occitan
more romanized, or what?
