This doesn't help at all. I need proof that they come from turkish,
arabic or persian. This doesn't prove anything. Dushan has a far
better proof than this. What you have given me I could've found out by
myself.

than why ask? the proof is that classsical arabic or persian or old
turkic didn't borrow from slavic, and some have internal etymologies
in these languages.

I do straightforward linguistics. I don't specualte about protoworld
or fundamental syllables.- Hide quoted text -

What do you call straightforward linguistics; concluding that since
turkish arabic and serbian have the same word it must come from
turkish or arabic it's "impossible" to be serbian, great theory. You
have to speculate what the root of the word is to have the right
etymology. It's absurd what you are saying. You can't just look at the
word and allocate it to whatever language you see fit.
