Sorry Richard, I was a bit too furious.
I want to say that is very difficult to find out what is autochtoneus in
Rom. Lang because in this language are mixed up together centum elements
(accepted as being mostly Latin) with satem elements (accepted as being
Slavic).
Beside of this there is the abnormal big words with unknown etymologies
plus the surely number of cognates with Albanian.
It is not an easy job to find out if an word is autochton or not, this
is what I intended to say.
