Hello Mate,

You said :
" and a Slavic etymon is the only possible since the word is
found in Slavic, Hungarian and Romanian.
Mate "

So just to resume a little Applied Logic here that belong to Mate :

" If we have 3 different languages a,b,c and a common word x in
these languages
if a is a Slavic language than x is a Slavic Word."

Is there any logic logic here? Could you correct this ?

Unfortunately, you are not the first : 'balta' and 'dalta', and
not only, (words present in both Albanian and Romanian) are treated
by some Romanian pro-slavic scholars in the same way : Slavic words.
They seems to ignore WHEN this loans could appears...because the
possible timeframe is very very very short....
