Subject: [tied] Re: Bo!
Danish and the other Scandinavian languages has "bonde",
present
participle in -nde of the same verb, German uses in "Bauer".
Officially Slavic influence on Danish is minimal: the personal
name
Preben (< Predbjørn, "corrupted" from Pridbor), some Wend
place names
in -itse and several Vindeby's on the islands of Lolland and
Falster,
torv "market", pram "barge", tolk "interpreter". These are
supposed
to have been borrowed in the 12th or 13th century from the
Wends, but
the fact that the "torg" word exists in Slavic, Romanian and
also
Albanian (I saw "tragë" somewhere) made me wonder if that word
had
not arrived with the invasion north from Pannonia to Thüringia
and
Scandinavia around 0 CE?

[Moeller] It could be a link. specialy I have my own feeling
( maybe wrong) the south slavic , special the bulgarian
language are so different from the rest of slavic world
because of the long bilingvism with the thracians there,
getting a lot of changes in their languages. But this is just
a feeling ( ok, I have something here I work about, but too
little for saying more)
