    BTW it is true that in Albanian (don't remember if Tosk or Gheg) Katalan means a one-eyed monster?
    Actually you're quite right.
    There's an old story (which is to long to tell) which involves a huge one eyed man named Katallan.
    As a matter of fact, in my family, we refer to tall and heavy built men as "katallan".

    The language is related to (if not descending from) substrate language behind Romanian. Hence similar morphology and many words shared only between the two (eg: Fluture).
