*****GK: What does he base this hypothesis on? There
may have been Romanians in the Hungarian armies which
occasionally invaded Galicia in the 12th and 13th
centuries, but they are not mentioned separately.
"Expansion" is not the right word here. There is no
record of settlement. On that basis, we could argue
that the Irish "expanded" all the way to Kyiv because
there was an Irish monastic presence there before
1240.(:=)))*******

******GK: Alex, it has been known for a very long time
that the "Jus Valachorum" ("Voloshs'ke Pravo") in
Galicia in the 14th and 15th century was
overwhelmingly used by local peasants, not by Romanian
colonists. Most of the life of these "Valachian"
villages continued to be regulated by the traditional
"Rus' Law". The "militarization" of many of these
villages is a later phenomenon, as is the co-optation
of their "knyazi" into the local secondary
aristocracy. The Romanian (actually Moldavian)
influence is clear, but this is a borrowed system, not
evidence of colonization.******
I'll look at your word list separately.
