Does anyone have the text of the entry Barcino / Barcelona in the Onomasticon Cataloniae by Joan Coromines?
Coromines never wrote this entry. To the disappointment of many of us, he expressly justified this odd fact by saying that he felt he wasn't able to give a sure or definite etymology of the place and didn't dare to be wrong in this matter, in which he considered, for very personal reasons, that to be right and precise was of the utmost importance.
I'm sorry to be so late in responding. I've just discovered your message now, three months late.
