it is enough if one counts how many words are interpreted by
Duridanov as meaning "bog" in his Thracian-Baltic correspondancies.
So many different words with the meaning "bog" cannot be existent in
one language. Due his alleged and forced comparations, one cannot pay
too much for the ideas presented by Duridanov. So far I remember,
Deçev (to speak just about a compatriote of him) rejects the idea
of
Duridanov too.

Since we are here, one has to mention that Duridanov sees a lot of
correspondancies between Baltic and Thracian but he affirms
too "there is no corresponance between Slavic and Thracian". That
will mean the contact between Baltic and Slavic are all of later
nature, somewhere in the christian time. Does it fit in the Baltic-
Slavic relationship on the timeline?
