I am not avare of the aromanian word, but _if exist_ it cannot be
"cãlivã" because there is no /e/ after /b/ form making it /v/. At least
if that word continue the Thracian word, and the Greeks kept in writing
the correct form there was an /a/ in coliba ( i= y) and therefore the
aromanian form should be "colibã" too.
