There are two V13 from Viminacium under the NE cluster too. Most seem to be under the Balkan IA cluster anyway. Logical conclusion is here that all are local that were influenced autosomally from other migrating groups.

Spreadsheet proves that the kit I mixed up you did pay for it, dimwit. The others that we paid for they still withdrew without giving us a refund or explaining why they removed them. Exactly, not your beef so stay out of it.

Man you’re pathetic. Didn’t we resolve this issue last time you accused me of lying? I emailed you the sheet that your buddy ran and I admitted that I could have made a mistake in one of those kits considering I didn’t compile that list (I had asked other admins to make a list for the kits we...

Man that list was created by your slimy buddy. He is the one that kept that excel sheet, and can be verified by four other admins if you need to double check. But you won’t because you know the truth. Now enough with this shit and bugger off, moron.

Even if my life depended on it, I wouldn’t like. Never have I lied in my life. Don’t confuse me with your slimy self and your ilk from across the border. Those kits were paid by me and other admins and can be verified. And trust me, your slimy friends will pay me back. I give you my word. That...

Man I have read all the literature related to Gollobord. The 16th century register may prove that those earlier inhabitants were either assimilated or dislocated. The first option seems a lot more plausible when factoring in your cluster. I know about all the samples. Most seem to have...

How was I full of shit man? I only responded to another member’s post where he posted the family names recorded in Okshtun and was stating how Slavic influence resisted there. Here is what was recorded there, family names like Jandro Sosjapi, Dimitri, Bozhiq Vilkashini, Todec Strumahu, Ivoja...

It does when one postulates that they first went through a Slavic phase. I am not saying that’s impossible, but based on the current data the most likely scenario to me seems be that it got there from the Germanic tribes that perhaps were in the service of Rome. Probably during the Komani-Kruja...

The Serbian/Croatian samples belong to the Macura clan who hail from Monte. They were recorded during Middle Ages as being ‘Latini’, meaning Catholic. So most definitely Alb or Vlah. This is the main problem with your half cooked theories. You never dig down deep, you mostly rely on the flags...

They were super connected to Kosove especially Peje and Rugove prior to WW2, before Serbs decided to cut them off and isolate them.

I have read in the past multiple times Mark Krasniqi’s ethnographic book ‘Vendbanimet e Rugoves’ and Mirko Bajraktarovic’s ‘Rugova’ and I didn’t even see one Berisha family there in all of the villages of Rugove. As I said, there are only few Shkreli, Shala and Kastrati families. Vast majority...

Maybe it got more widespread but it definitely was in use since the ancients time or otherwise it would have been lost. Reason I think it may be as a badge of honour is because it’s not practical at all to wear a white hat for shepherds, like Malcom thinks. Material however makes sense. But...

Same thing like Kelmendi. Influence from the neighbouring tribes. In the past they may have had more interactions with Alb tribes considering their origin.

We should keep it in mind though that in ancient times a very similar cap was worn under the helmet as a buffer/protection. Classical Greeks definitely wore such a thing, and I know later Romans used it too when they freed slaves that served in their legions. So back then it symbolized/was...

Yes, I am sure. Catholics of Malesi started wearing similar head gear later, 18th century the earliest, and mostly what we call Shalle/Mahrame though. Especially Kelmendi, Shale etc that had intensive interactions with Kosove/Tropoje region. Rugove’s Qefin is distinct though and it’s only...

There are no Berisha in Rugove to my recollection. Majority are Kelmend that trace their ancestry to Malesi e Madhe, with few families that identify as Shale and some Shkrel. They didn’t bring their Qefin thing from Malesi e Madhe, they adopted it in Rugove after they converted post 16th century.

Use your head. Last time I checked we refer to it as ‘mahrame’ and ‘qefin’ at the same time. Both words obviously entered our language during the ottoman period. I don’t give a rats ass where Berbers got it.

The ‘Truban’ is of Ottoman heritage obviously and is also known in other words as Qefin (the white cloth that muslims cover their dead with). It’s a warrior thing, like Catholics of the same region for example tattooing a cross so they are buried as Christians when they die during battle...

Speaking of Wilkes, he lost all his credibility to my opinion when he stated that Albanians couldn’t be descendants of Illyrians based on their short stature. Some of the tallest Illyrian remains ranged from 1.68 to 1.72.. I mean, how can you even base your thesis on such a claim when it’s...

I would agree that V13 definitely has more structure and is a lot more divers among us than other linages, so wouldn’t be surprised if they carried the Albanoid language. However, questions remains how they acquired it and from what group. If we assume that Albanian belongs to the older group of...
