Well, so I understood too from the text Brian. Why I still asked is the
follow:
-in Rom. "comarnic" is a little hut for shepherds thus the meaning of the
city will be understood as "hut" so far there is too "the little hut" and
"the big hut" ( comarnicul mic, comarnicul mare).
So, apparently there is nothing about muskitos there.
BTW the word "comarnic" is considered by DEX do be from Bulgarian
"komarnik". Since there is no explanation for Bulgarian word, I assume this
means too "shepherd's hut" but I am not sure.
