Re: Germanic Scythians?

Dear Alex
I think that Rum. word kepec must be segmented as kep- + -ec, when -
ec is deminutiv Slavic suffix. I agree that Alb. pet- + -k
(ë) "garment" are from the same root with Rum. pet- + -ec, very
unproductive (cf. Sll. mjesec "moon", zec " rabbit") with doubtfull
origin. It's also present in Albanian mistrec "undergrown,
undersized", like Slavic kepec with same meaning, etc.
Albanian and Rumanian, in one or other way, prooved that we have to
deal much with an unvoiced stop /p/ then voiced one /b/.
