Hello Piotr,
I want to thanks you for your explanation that fit very well the
Dacian root.
I didn't arrive this weekend to present the Dacian toponyms
having the root 'argi' /ar3/ , but I will post it as soon as I can.
I want to ask some additional questions, if possible :
1. What are the conditions when Dacian /3/ arrive in romanian as :
a. /3^/ like in 'ArgeS' and when it arrives to
b. /z/ like in 'viezure' and 'maz~are'
(also regarding 1.b. my opinion is that /3-/ at the end of the
word arrived in proto-romanian /d-/ like in 'brad'. (or this is a
later/current romanian /3^-/ -> /d-/ ?) What is your opinion on this?
2. *h2arg^ is the same root with Pokorny arg^
meaning 'shine;silver'? If yes (as I suppossed), could you tell me
why /h2/ in front?
Thanks again and Best Regards,
marius
