the assumtions have been given by George, so how I understood it:
-the Dacians migrated ( they becoming Albanians). On their way to actually
Albania, they founded cities, one of them being Thermidava. The fact there
is just one (known)"-dava" makes the things strange because there is
expected on the assumtion of George, the values should be bigger as 1 on
their way to Albania. The "expected value" should be more as "1" we have and
geographicaly they (the new builded -davas) should be amplaced on the way
from Dacia to Albania. Right?
