Name

Id suggest adding the Serbian name Drač and the Greek name Dyrrhachium Hidontknow (talk) 12:37, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The name during greek colonisation its already mentioned in etymology. The serbian name its as important as the name "Qyteti i Bardhe" for Belgrade. So definitely no. RoyalHeritageAlb (talk) 12:55, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{{subst:trim|1= The original etymology in ancient Greek language of the city Epidamnos (at the time of it's creation 700 B.C. approx.) Επίδαμνος = επί δάμνος – δάμνημι = δαμάζω

επί = epi [adverb] means on top or besides, used in this naming for emphatic purposes, δάμνος/δαμάζω = damnos/ damazo noun and verb meaning taming/tame of the surrounding wild nature in order to create a settlement/city. Did proto-Albanian??? come before ancient Greek colonists from Corinth and Corcyra, and those ancient Greek colonists that created hundreds of city-ports all over the Mediterranean sea new proto-Albanian??? in 700 B.C.??? Is the institution Wikipedia interested in authentic history or accepting and publishing fabricated historical propaganda?
