Yes. So I said. Alboca and Albocensi are derivatives of "Albo". In so
far I said the truth. We do not have a Getic gloss like "zombros" where
the Greek says what it means. I don't have a gloss. But I have a toponym
and I have an anthroponym. But not a gloss in the really sense of the
word (btw, can the word anthroponym be used for name of the tribes? )
