this is why, despite some toughts of George Kynsch is more
better to ask here on cybalist. Here are people who have more
better knowledge about some topics. As I asked about Zeranii,
my toughts were very prophane. And I keept in mind that in
romanians "Tzãranii" means simply "peasants". The explanation
for this word is to be an intern rom. derivative from latin
terra. Terra=rom. Tzara and from tzara you got tzeranii, in
fact tzãranii.
I observe tough, there are many ancient words found today in
rom. language where the changes are very small, in some cases
just a transformation of an antic "e" in "ã" .But his doesnt
means anything more as some observations of me .

thank you very much once again for your translations.
