Indeed. But this is no influence exerted on Romanians: most
of those who try similar "adaptations" don't speak Russian and
never had Russian language classes in school. (This was compulsory
only betw. 1948-1964.)

I don't know. OTOH, Turkic is another linguistic area where one
can't tell which is the hen and the egg. :) Seemingly, Iranian
(i.e. chiefly Scythian-Sarmatian-Alan) and Uralic are the
substrates to what's called Turkic...

German Knappe (the medieval squire < scutarius!)
(a later additional meaning: "miner". Miners' guild and
group insurances association is called Knappschaft. All
these have to do with the primeval Knappe, and not with
any alluding to low wages: "knappes Geld" :))

Quite imaginable: in khlap- & knapp/knab/knav. The
pronunciations of [l] and [n]: usually variants of
apico-alveolar configurations.

AFAIK, wether the Knappe/Knabe family, nor the khlap-/khlop-
family include the idea "Jewish Czech/Lusatian/Polish
slavery or serfdom". (Cnaan means Canaan = Palestina)

Whereas all knap-knab-gnab--khlap-khlop words have the
same chief meanings "servant", "page", "boy".
