Hello Abdullah,
------------------------------------------------------------------
"I think that Bulg. <horo> and Rom. <hora> are Greek loans from <ho
khoros> 'dance', so I can't see any problem about its origin."
------------------------------------------------------------------
An intervocalic -kh- is never lost in Romanian in any period that
I know from any source language that I know: Latin, Slavic and its
derived languages, Greek, Turkish, Hungarian...).
Also (but I admit that I don't have deep Slavic knowledge) as I
know such a lost is not common in Slavic language either.
If you know similar examples in Bulgarian or Romanian indicating
such a lost as you proposed here please post them.
As regarding my proposal:
Rom. 'hora' - Alb. 'valle' - PAlb *walwo:- (?)
in which we have:
PAlb. wa -> Rom. ua/uã > uo > o <-> Alb. va/vë
I already posted the following similarities for the equation above:
Rom. 'oare' 'interg. perhaps?' - Alb. vallë 'id.'
Rom. 'orb' 'blind' (reg.'uãrb') - Alb. vërbër 'id.' (Lat. orbus)
(and I could add others too)
In my opinion the 3 pairs above represent solid arguments
regarding my proposal.
Only the Best,
marius
