it is indeed the first time when I heard about him. And in fact it doesn't
matter at all if one hears something from a wellknown person or from an
"nobody". What matters is the message the person gives. And my feeling there
was he is far away from the known facts but in the same time, he does not
comme with other facts unknown by us for prooving his ideea. Curious,
indeed..

I was thinking about the way to understand it as well too. But the facts
remain still unclear since if they are comming from Transilvania, then they
should be either Avars or Dacians or some Hunic people since just these 3
folks should be enough unknown to us from the linguistic point of view. I
mean, Alb. lang is not a germanic language, thus all the germanic folks
which have been crossing Transilvania for more or less years, they should be
excluded. From the ancient "Sarmatians" or "Alans" we still have the Ossets
today and we can compare the languages where Alb. sure does not fit in.
But if they are Dacian or Avars the Slavic toponymi North of Danube makes no
sense at all because the period of IX-X is the same period where one thinks
the Valachs have migrated North of Danube. So, what should be there for
unknown facts which determined the Albanians to migrate from North of Danube
and the Vlachs to migrate to North of Danube in the same period of time.
Making the things more complicated, the special Veglioto-Albanian
relationship in the field of common Latin lexica is not to explain since at
that time, there is less probable the Vegliots could influence the
Albanians. and so on, and so on, and so on. There are still a lot of
arguments which speaks against of a such idea that.. the more I think about,
the more unacceptable appears a such statement.
