No. I am aware of "l" in lubo: , germanic liebe, love and slavic
"liuba".
But I know already the explanation that the romanian " a iubi"= to love
is from slavic "liuba" with assimilation of "l" in simple /i/ therefore
I did not wanted to mention this one.
It is enough to know that is not a latin word but "borrowed from
somewhere". And this in "old ltin" once again as in many cases .
I remember the words of Piotr "audio, audio Alex, it gave an "auzi" in
romanian."
Unfortunately, several days ago I could read that the old form in Latin
for "audio" was " au(i)z-dio".
Already with "z" there. T
