    Akni,bendisa,barai,rika have thracian sonority.
    Rika is somehow cognate with romanian striga which means same thing.
    Might be a very old thracian word at the root of both words.

    Can a Bulgarian give me an opinion? Do any of the words above exist in Bulgarian?

    Here are some more words that I think are unique to Macedonian.

    Krkai, Кркаи (eat) Krkam, Кркам (i'm eating) Standard Macedonian= Jadi, Jadam/Јади, Јадам.
    Gredi, Греди (come) - Gredam, Гредам (i'm coming) Standard Macedonian= Dojdi, Dojdam/Дојди, Дојдам.
    Tro, Тро (a bit). Standard Macedonian= Malku/Малку

    I posted this word and few others in another thread. Probably some of you will go mad again but i still hold my opinion that these are common Turkic words which exists in all Turkic languages. It`s probably an heritage of Avars or early Bulgars to the slavic languages;

    Quote Originally Posted by Onur View Post

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shopi

    It says "istem, iskam" as "I want" in Serbian, Macedonian and Bulgarian but erroneously but probably purposely indicated as "archaic word". This is in fact an old Turkic word;

    I found this word in Russian and Slovenian too by using google translate;
    Slovenian "íščem"
    http://translate.google.com/#sl|en|%C3%AD%C5%A1%C4%8Dem
    Russian "iskat"
    http://translate.google.com/#ru|en|%...B0%D1%82%D1%8C
    Serb-Croat "istem"
    http://translate.google.com/#hr|en|istem


    This old Turkic word still exists in today`s Turkish without any change in semantics but maybe a slight letter change in post-republic Turkish orthography of tense/mood forms;

    Turkish "istem, istek, istek-li, iste-mek, istet-mek"
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|istem
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|istek
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|istekli
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|istemek
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|istetmek


    The word "Jadem, Jem, Jedem, Jadam" as "I eat". This is also an old Turkic word of "Ye, yemek, yedim, yem" meaning "to eat, food, eating"
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|yem
    http://translate.google.com/#tr|en|yedim


    The word "Kuche" as "dog" in slavic languages. This is in fact "Kuçu, Kuchu" in Turkic, meaning "dog or dog puppies".


    All these forms of these words also exists in Turkish-Arabic dictionary written in 1070 AD;

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmud_al-Kashgari

    https://sites.google.com/site/kokturkuzbiz/dlt


    Gredi, Греди (come) - Gredam, Гредам (i'm coming) Standard Macedonian= Dojdi, Dojdam/Дојди, Дојдам.
    This is a similar word to Turkic again;

    Gel = Come
    Gelirem, Gelirim, Geliyom = I am coming
    Geldim = I came

    The proof is that these words "gel, istem, yedim" exists on our rune stones, monuments of 7th century and early 11th century Turkish-Arabic dictionaries.

    Serbs say this too:Krkam (i'm eating) - but I have seen it used in the context of making fun of someone eating.

    Serbian standard: Jedem - I am eating.

    You pronounce the first letter (J)edem, as in English (Y)ou, right? I am asking this because in Turkish we write the same word as "(Y)edim" meaning "I ate" and pronounce it like in English "(Y)ou".

    From this list we only have ‘kredens’. 'Rika' sounds a bit similar to Polish 'ryknąć' (to roar)

    dodji - come in Serbian

    malo, colloquially malko - a little

    Not in the standard language, but in dialects.
