Alex:
I'm not sure that I properly understand your point number five. Are you saying (1) that there are _particular_ OCS words that exist in Rumanian and Albanian but not in any modern Slavic language, or (2) that no OCS words exist in any modern Slavic language. If you mean #1, I could understand that. However, if you mean #2, that's wrong. I know for a fact that Modern Russian is full of OCS roots. In most cases, a particular OCS lexical item will have a Russian equivalent, and the pair of words will reflect differences of concept. For example:
krat- (OCS) vs. korot- (Russian)
glav- (OCS) vs. golov- (Russian)
mlad- (OCS) vs. molod- (Russian)
mlek- (OCS) vs. molok- (Russian)
If I've misunderstood what you meant, I apologize in advance.

What is the whole stuff about slavic in fact? Here follows shortly the
informations I knew about. Which of them are right, which of them are
true?
5) There are words in OCS who are to find just in the language of
Albanians, Romanians, Aromanians but in no Slavic Language.
P.S. does anyone has a link where one could read some sample of the
oldest OCS text.
