I strongly hope your idea is wrong here. If your idea will be a right
one, then we will have the change of "d" to "l" in Thracian and the
called "sabinic" change of *dakruma in *lacruma cannot be considered
anymore as beeing a specific of Latin but merely a sound change which
happened in the Thracian space as well. Asuming a such development will
show itself to be a valid one, then there will be presumably a reduction
of the paternity of some Latin world in the Eastern Romance:-))
