hmm.. do not make me be more suspicious I already am. If the word zidU
is not known in the north and west Slavic it is very possible we have
here again a Thracian word. Someone want to convince me that there
should be possible a metathesis in the word "-dizos", kind of dizos >
zidos, but a such metathesis should be very unusual ( in my opinion) and
not the normally metathesis of the liquids. It doesn't matter how
appetising should be the idea, I still cannot find any justify for
accepting this supposed metathesis in dizos > zidos.
