A little commentar:
- I don't make any comment of PN, ON, FlurN, FIN. I just want to point
out that from the StN which are known indeed to be 100% dacians,
Duridanov find just the ethnicon "Getenoi" , the Greek one in the Baltic
"Getenai".
For the trully Dacian name of the tribes it Seems Duridanov could not
find any relation in the Baltic space.
(Some Dacian tribes: Albocenses,Apulenses, Tricornenses, Picenses,
Potulatenses, Predavenses, Saldenses, Buridenses, Buridavenses,
Ratacenses, Caucoenses, Cotenses, Greucenses, Iesenses, Senses,
Piphiges, Carpi, Cotosoboces, etc.)I mention I showed here just these
names NOrth of Danube and not the names of these who have been South of
Danube as Moesy, Bessi, etc. (There are over 150 names known as thracian
tribes)
The similarity in the name of these tribes with these of italo-ibero
space is more as evidentely for everyone who is accomodated with them.
So much about Duridanov's relationships.
