*****GK: What is "Pre-Romanian" in your view? A
language that existed prior to the Latin
arrival/implantation in the Balkans, i.e. prior to 165
BC? It's ridiculous to speak of this as
"pre-Romanian". Totally anachronistic. There was no
"pre-Romanian" before the Latins came. Romanian is an
eastern Romance language. Elementary.******

*****GK: Again what are you talking about? By the time
Romanian began to develop as a distinct language there
were no "Old Greeks" around to borrow from.*****

*****GK: Anyone who sees "pre-Romanians" in the
Balkans before the Romans is in some sort of
trance...And talk about "wishful thinking" Your theory
about Thermidava is an excellent example thereof.*****
