I think they just overexaggerate. Nothing serious I think. You are not discussing with professionals here. Neither are we.
Macedonian and Slavic Placenames in Greece and Albania

Also the "slavic migrations" are dated exactly before these slavic toponyms start to be mentioned in the sources.
A coincidence again..or just the same reasonable simple explanation...?
As I said before, I don't think it's a conspiracy theory. I think it's human stupidity and simple-mindedness that gave birth to the Slavic migration theory.अयं निज: परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्।

Nun is kalo(good)+gria(oldwoman)=kalogria.
Of course the root word is going to be Greek. There was no other church in the area for hundreds of years.
The itsa is obviously there because it is part of our vernacular.Last edited by El Bre; 09-14-2008, 09:42 PM.

OMG EL BRE, how can you say that? The root is greek and the village must be greek. One of my grandmother comes from the village of BelimbegOVO (now renamed to Ilinden). The root is turkish - belimbeg, the ending is Macedonian OVO, but apparently not even 1 turk lives there.For the glory of the Hellenes! Abandon orthodoxy and join your true religion! http://www.hellenicreligion.gr/... Zeus awaits you!

That placename comes from the Celtic tribes which settled in that region during the classical period, not from the local Hellenic milkman.
The nearest in Byzantium/Galata region, Celtic tribes settled were the Bastarnae -in North Thrace/Mysia ,and the Gauls (Galates in Greek) in Phrygia (central Asia Minor !)
They called themselves Gauloise ,and when they gradually quit their language in favor of Greek (Galates )
However "Galat-es" is plural ,while Galatas in singular.
Check again your wiki experts..

First time I thought a Greek say that. After all, Greeks were banned from this very forum not a few weeks ago exactly for spamming from Wikipedia. Ironic isn't it.अयं निज: परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्।

On a scale I would say Risto's literature is bit better. It's no gospel of truth, but at least he is a honest researchers.अयं निज: परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्।

The list on the original post of this thread has been partially updated. It is quite time consuming so the process continues as normal.
Flicking through this thread, about half of the posts have been conversations and off-topic, lets stick to the topic at hand.

The list looks the same as it did before..
anyways more filtering
A few of the ones in CAPITAL LETTERS that need to be adressed
ORIZARTSI - Oriza in Latin = Rice from Greek Oryza
DRAGANI - could mean Dragon from Greek Drakon or a Dragatis = keeper of the vineyard or keeper of the field. In any case definately not Slavic.
METSOVO - formerly Metsovon , this is from Metsovone , a type of cheese , maybe latin origin since its the capital of the Vlachs.
ANASTASOVA - clearly from the word Anastasi = Resurrection
Arkouditsi - Arkouda = bears , lots of bears in Epirus and Pindus
Nisi Karvouno - nisi = island karvouno = charcoal
Kato Retsina - retsina = a greek wine retsino = castor
Kato Voskina - Voskos = ovchar , sheppard
Klidoniavista - Klidonia = Lock Ista is not Itsa
Kokkinitsa - Kokkino = red
Kounoupitsa - who knows maybe theres alot of kounupia (mosquitos) lol
Karditsa - Kardia = heart
Kammeno - although Kamen means rock in Slavic, in this case Kammeno means Burnt in Greek.

The first four are definitely Slavic. When you say "In any case definitely not Slavic" I assume you have proper knowledge of at least several Slavic languages? Right? Or do you assume that when you provide a Greek etymology of a toponym it instantly dismisses the Slavic one just like that without any doubt?अयं निज: परो वेति गणना लघुचेतसाम्।

Metsovone Cheese, LOOOLLLLLLL, on ya Nakov
Coming from the same person who wrote Kastanitsa - chestnuts.
Hey, have you ever asked a Croatian or a Polish person how they say 'chestnut'? Perhaps Papadoglou also made colonies in Warsaw
Oriz in its similar variants is a common European word you fool.
Dragan is definetly not Slavic? Hahaha
Please, keep "filtering", the comedy is good.In the name of the blood and the sun, the dagger and the gun, Christ protect this soldier, a lion and a Macedonian.
