Piotr, I was just thinking about this slavo-romance pseudo(?)-relation.
In a previos mail I told you about the expresions in Romanian which are
given as being derivative from Latin but they are foneticaly and
semanticaly close to slavic.
Two of them have been:
something = 'ceva' (c^eva) and I pointed to russian 'cevo'(c^evo)
some = 'niste' (niSte), regional 'neSte'= the Latin expresion
"nescio quid"='I dont know what' and I pointed to
slavic words like Serbian 'neSto'

Which are the roots for the Slavic words in this case?
