Is no. Endif. :-)

[Moeller] every "if" must end with an "end if", other ways
there is just a reboot the solution:-)

While being a possible derivation from <coama>, the word
<comaTi>
is not in use in Romanian. Any Romanian would understand it,
though
(as any French could understand beloved president Chirac
speaking
about <emploayabilite>, a word which does not exist in
French).

[Moeller] nice comparation. Does everys french too understand
what "comat/comati" means?

Diphtongation of stressed /e/ and /o/ are two main features
of
Romanian which could be traced back up to Common
(Proto-)Romanian,
being present in all its' four dialects. Of course, in <coama>
the phenomenon is as regular as in <soare> < solem, <moara> <
molam,
<ceara> < cera. Unstressed /o/ evolves indeed towards /u/.

[Moeller]such topics I will discuse just on r-lang. Not more
on cybalist. But I guess you are sure I have a plenty of
examples ov latin "co-" remaining "co-" and not diftonging to
"coa-"...
