Rolligeras and Rolisteneas: Rolli="Hot", Geras="Water-Spring", see the Dacian toponym Germigeras
Authors/Creators
Description
A new discovery: that a Thracian toponym Rolligeras in Southwestern Bulgaria meant "Hot spring", with Rolli="Hot" and Geras="water-spring", and I explain what this means for the anthroponym Rolisteneas/Rolistene. I correct what I wrote about the Hesychius gloss "roiliais": it meant "biting, pungent", not "a rushing sound", and the actual meaning of "roiliais" works better and explains what is actually going on with Rolisteneas and Rolligeras, as well as explaining Ancient Greek roia="pomegranate fruit" and more.
