And how are combatants experts on the issue? They are not even experts on what "Vukovar" means, as I'd wager most of them wrongly think it means "city of wolves". Much less are they experts on whether that k-r that repeats in the river names in Croatia (Krka, Korana, Krbavica, Krapina, Kravarščica and two rivers named Karašica) meant "to flow" (which is what my paper is about).
