Sorry but in all my argumentation I talked only from a linguistic
point of view not from a genetic one (that I think is out of our
scope here).
But of course we need also some people (doesn't matter what genes
theyt had) in this scenario in order to carry and to keep ra:tja and
ma:dzula with a: >a and not with o (as in Albanian) and all these
Before Romans arrival in Balkans.
