He's pointing nothing ....
He took Marcomani out of a long series of marco- names saying that
didn't belongs in that series...
Why? Because 'this word is so transparent'....
But he agrees also that he can well be a loan..
To show you that 'Marcomani' is no so 'Transparent' as Piotr and
George try to assert here without any argument here please read black
and white :
"The same element marc- is attested in local Gaulish names, such as
Mrco-durum 'horse gate'(?) Marcomagus 'Horse-valley' (DAG 221)
Marco-lica 'horse-stone (? Spain; Delammare 2003:217) Compare the
Gaulish proper names Marcomarus, Marcosena, Marcomani, Marcus
(?, the king's name in the Tristan Legend). Consider Ambio-Marcis
(dat. pl) a "Matronen-name" (Schmidt 1957:123), mat be relevant here"
URL FOR PIOTR to use it as bibbliography:

So I showed to you all who is "the silly" here that makes "superior
remmarks talking about the transparency of Marcomanni meaning"...
AS you can see There ARE OTHERS THAT PUT ALSO THIS WORD IN A NORMAL
RIGHT SERIES : "Compare the Gaulish proper names Marcomarus,
Marcosena, Marcomani, Marcus"
and don't talk:
about "o- of marco as a Latinized Process"
supposed to transform "all the Daco-Celtic-Germanic marco- names in
the same time from a supposed a- to o-"
I said once that I will come with some bibliography for him
now 'after so many superior remarks' reagrding 'Marcomanni meaning' I
needed to do it...
