One hundert years ago ( more or less) , the gouvernment of
Romania decided to give to every person a card of identity
like in every civilizated state. There, they found out, is was
a big problem with a lot of citisiens . Because they have had
not a "family name". Because there was "a must" to have a
family name, the people gave themselfs family names from the
name of their parents. So, the son of Petre became "Ofpetre"
, the son of Maria became "Ofmaria". So they got en fine, the
solicited family names. For the rest of romanians, was a bit
funny to see so much "Of" and "xxx" where "xxx" was in fact
simply the name of the father or of the mother.
This Of Maria or Of Petre is in romanian Al lui Petre or Al
Mariei .The "Al lui " -form is the form which literary is the
corect one. In the speach of the people tough, this is not in
use ad literam, but how the peasants speaks. Al lui = a lu ,
which is pronounced closed kinda "alu" for masculine , as
when there should be a single word..For feminine the "al
Mariei" is in peasants mouth " a mariei"
So, the actualy family names of these people are like "
Alupetre, Alubâzu, Alumânzu,Aluzânu, Adolchitzei, Amariei,
Aioanei, etc".

Maybe you dear cybalisters, will ask yourself why I considered
necesary to tell you this story...hmmm.. what can I say...It
is just that I re-seen my list with thracian names and I allow
myself to give you now, just a few examples from it:
Aulubeista, Aulucentus, Auluporis, Auluzenis, Aulusanus, etc.
The people who studied the thracians, they say this "aulu" is
a part , a prefix, and it is to find in composite names.."
This is what say the people who studied the thracians name,
and they found a PIE radical for "aulu" , the radical beeing
*au-l = to like, to love....

I am far away from these people, I did not studied the
thracians like they did.. I just remembered the story with the
family name, and I just seen the similarity of this way " to
make names"... There are maybe so much coincidences between
sky and earth............., isn't it?
