in slavic WLAS, WLJAS, WOLOS, WELES (probably hairy or haires)
god of shepherds, welfare. god of the dead people.

It seems walah & Co seems to become a big concurence here.. In
fact the sheperds.. vlach, vlasi ( in souths slavic), woloch
in nort and west slavic.. I guess this should be the
connection. Opinions?
