I understand. Kalwo is not kalo tough, isnt it? I was looking just for
"kalo" how George wrotte.In the online dictionary I use for greek there
is no entry for "kalwos":-(
And I do not remember that the name of Caloian is written
"Calouian/Calwoian" but every person can make mistakes.
Do you think there is no connection regarding colind, caloian, colaceri
and greek kalein and latin *calo?
