Agreed:-) I seen his argumentation on the Romanian layer and the Latin
word "marinus" versus Rom. word "marin" which is a recent loan.
Piotr is right regarding the derivation within Latin languages but I am
not at all sure about the derivation within Rom. Lang.
It is too stupid to take the "beehive" from Latins and to see it as
"bee" but to have the fully other therminology regarding bees and their
life & farming from an another idiom. It doesn't mathces at all.
