You may think what you like, but where's the evidence? I don't know of a
single attestation of "gardas" in the limited corpus of Thracian words
available to us. We have the etymologisable toponymic

       Hello,

   Romanians have GARD, Albanians have GARDH, Gots have GARDS, Lithuanians have GARDAS, but Slavs have GRAD. So, I think, that GARD can't be loan from Slavic. Also, was Gothic language popular much enough to inflect Romanian, Albanian, Baltic and Slavic languages?
language. Please show us how the Germanic languages can be derived from it.
   I'm not sure that Old Prussian language was Proto Germanic language. But I have read articles, which suggests that Proto Germanic language belonged to Satem group of languages and had cases. Also, words HAILAZ and HELMAZ were been presented as Proto Germanic words. Word HAILAZ means HELLO. Prussians have KAILAS for HELLO. Word HELMAZ means HELMET. Prussians have SALMAS for HELMET. Also, words STIKLS and GARDS were been written here as Gothic words. There are Baltic words STIKLAS and GARDAS with same meaning as Gothic ones. Also, Baltic word PLUGAS is in Germanic languages too. It means PLOUGH. Germanic and Prussian tribes were neighbours in ancient times. I'm wondering what are opinions of other members about relations between Old Prussian language and Proto Germanic language?
