The word was preserved not only by Romanians in "biserica" ( you have to
see that the word "biserica" cannot derive drom the known form
"basilica" since never a > i thus by no way basilica > biserica , thus
there must be something else there a word like *bisilica).
The word is not in the language of Romanians , but it was atested in
Vegliote too.
The word in vegliote was "basalka".
What for words from the religious life you should like to discute? I
gues here are of use words special of religion not qwords which are to
find in the everyday life as spirit, life, sky and so on..
