I guess that "evidence" amounts to stories about Zalmoxis being
once a slave in Samos. Of course, this is only a guess, and of
course, no such conclusion could be inferred from that.

Another guess: words that Lisa thinks related on the basis of
some common phonemes.
BTW, for Lisa: it is generally admitted that Romanian phoneme
/h/ was instated in language after the first Slavic loanwords
(since in Classical Latin it was no longer voiced). So any theory
about Romanian substrate words containing this phoneme is very
doubtful (to put it in a nice form).
