This creature sounds similar to the Dungeons and Dragons version of the Hydra. Everchanging02 02:26, 28 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

bala-ur

edit

that term cannot be albanian. albanian language is codified in the 20th ct in monastir(bitola) and did not exist before. the root of the word is latin. ur as a snake. like Uroboros. bala can come from slavic word for saliva(balavi).79.126.245.153 (talk) 14:09, 2 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

European dragon talk page

edit

I removed several sections and placed it in the European dragon talk page as being more relevant there. --DThomsen8 (talk) 12:25, 15 May 2014 (UTC)Reply

Planning to rewrite the "Etymology" section

edit

Fellow editors (and whoever else has the page on their Watchlist): I'm planning to rewrite the "Etymology" section to be a bit more precise and concise, instead of having a bunch of information thrown together in separate paragraphs.

My proposal is to distribute the information in two parts: The attestations in Romanian and other languages first (including the loanwords and the proposed cognates in Slavic languages and Albanian), then we segue into scholarly etymologies and further connections.
