HUNGARIAN ARANJOS GOLD

The hungarian word aranjos 'gold' (-anjos is a suffix in Hungarian)
seems to be a loan from a local population that:
1. has loaned Latin 'aurum'
2.a and has reduced auC-u to aC-u see Latin auscultare > Romanian
ascultare , Latin Augustus > OldRomanian Agust
or
2.b from a population that globally reduced au>a as in Albanian

so this population was either a Romanized one or an Albanoid one
possesin some important Latin loans :)

So a single loan is enough to tell us who was that local population
that Hungarians found extracting the Gold in the 'Gold Valley' (Arjesh)
of the Apuseni Mountains when the Hungarians arrived around 1000 AC.
