A symmetrical burden of proof is required: western Romance, Celtic, Germanic and Italic parallels proposed by Ungureanu must satisfy the same phonological, semantic, chronological and contact-path constraints that he demands of Dacian explanations.

Evidence: Initial lexicographic checks support some proposals (stîng, gușă), weaken specific labels (mînz, brad), and directly contest others (zer, balegă, brusture).

Inference: Rejecting an over-specific Dacian label does not automatically prove the first available western alternative.

Independent Romanian etymological lexicography strongly converges with Ungureanu's Romance analysis of îngâna: DER derives it from Latin gannare/*ingannare and cites medieval Latin and Romance continuants.

Evidence: DER: Latin gannare/*ingannare; cf. medieval gannatura, Italian ingannare, Spanish engañar.

Inference: This is a high-confidence positive example of the paper's method, not merely a negative anti-Dacian argument.

The word țap is a direct unresolved conflict between Ungureanu's Italic-substrate proposal and modern Romanian dictionary traditions that label it traco-Dacian with Albanian comparanda.

Evidence: Ungureanu cites Lazio/Campania/Abruzzi forms and medieval zappus; DEX/MDA label țap traco-Dacian, cf. Albanian cap/cjap.

Inference: This word should be treated as a head-to-head test case, not given a categorical label in the site.

Ungureanu's Byzantine-Greek analysis of traistă has strong independent support in DER, which derives it from Medieval Greek tagistron and records related Greek and Calabrian forms.

Evidence: DER: Mgr. tagistron; cf. Modern Greek and Calabrian trastina.

Inference: This is another strong positive case where the paper's anti-substrate reassignment aligns with established etymological literature.
