the rumanian word cannot be a bulgarian loanword because of the
fonological aspect. The whole theory of the slavic influences in Balcans
it seems to be very weak. The rumanians should have took the word
"trunu" from bulgarian with no transformation because the fonology of
rumanian has no restriction about this. But in paleoslav we have g e n e
r a l y the methathesis of the liquids "r" and "l" . (See the exemplaes
of bulg. blato rom balta:, alb. balte:, bulg. dlato rom. dalta:, alb.
dalte:)
In the rumanian we have a lot of toponims like tarnava on the whole
country . The linguists forget that the toponim Trnovo in Bulgaria was
in fact the capital of Asan dinasty, and they were valachs not slavs or
bulgarians.
The explanation is strongly confirmed by the fact that albanians and
rumanins have the same pattern in the word but the slavs have the
difference, which is normal, due the characteristic of the paleoslav for
methathesing these liquids.
