For instance, Comane$ti is reminiscent of the Oguz Turks
branch of the Cumans, who were the overlords in what's
today's trans-Carpathian Romania & Ukraine - until the
Mongol empire destroyed them (some of them settled down
in Hungary forever, some of them went back to the
steppes North of the Black Sea, disappearing in the
"Golden Horde").

As of Corne$ti, Corbe$ti & Magura... for a Romanian
native speaker to believe in such <watchamacallit>...,
well, hmmm... ya know whaddah mean. :-)
