Hello,

could the Romanian word ('blueberry, cowberry') have descended of a Thracian word which would be  or ? Is there an Indo-European word whence such a Thracian word could descend of? I found it unlikely that it would descend of the Latin word, because I think that the "d" couldn't be dropped so easily, since in Romanian by and  from Latin  the "d" also hasn't been dropped. Here you might find something about | Romanian phonetic changes.
