Re: [tied] Etymology for (Caucasian) Albania

Dear Milos,

I would be glad to be helpful, but unfortunately I can't comment neither on the gene/linguistical features correlation nor on the Albanian names -- it's out of my competence.

Regards,

Sergei

> Is anybody aware of the etymology of the toponym (Caucasian) Albania? ... I do know that, but I am sending you the names of the ancestors of one my friend Albanian (from tribe Malisori in Montenegro), because it sounds interesting: Pata Keci ("c" soften than "ch") Lazri Gega Gozdjeni Pepa Cama Ula Leka Vuksani Smajli Hadzva ("dz" like "j") Ujka Preka Djoni ("dj" soften than "j") Do you recognize any IE root in them?
