Re: Troj ( it was ancient sources)

Yes, in Albanian language we have truall/truell < troll
(pl.troje) "place, plot of land, site" (to build the house).
According to Meyer its loanword from never documented Rom *teriola,
until Jokl derived it from Latin terra "earth" with an Albanian
suffix. Çabej treats it derived from terë.
