I don't know how one does derives Timish from Tibisia or Tibiscum or
Tibissus through supposed form *Timbisya. Have you other example? Or
you just like to be attractive in reconstruction and speculation?
It seems that you have never read a book on Thracian or Illyrian:
Abantia ~ Amantia, Albena ~ Almene, Bardylis ~ Mardylis seems very
simple b > m change. Or, take a look on Katichich's book (page 144),
where you will found: Tibiskos ~ Timisis, Abydon ~ Amydon, Andrabus
~ Adramus, Bargos ~ Margos, Basteira ~ Masteira, Bendis ~ Mendis,
Bouzeos ~ Mousaios, Doberos ~ Domerus, Serbolia ~ Sermulia.
