5.5 Now to put 2 transformations:
1. Slavic o(<a)/accented > Common Romanian a and
2. Slavic o(<a)/accented > Common Romanian oa

in the SAME TIMEFRAME of 150-200 years ... "c'est n'importe quoi"
===============
200 is about 7 generations of 30 years
so it means plenty of time for changes.

When it comes to FRench -ill- (= Italian -gli-)
German has the old 1850 way of saying -ill- as -lj-
Since 1900, I suppose new loans would have -j-

And we have no reason to suppose all loans are from *one* slavic dialect.
Cf. previous mails about maglia = maya

I post again for you the Romanian Loan Rules regarding the Slavic o
----------------------------------------------------------

Thank you for the rules
It's obviously the right way to handle the issue.
