So, let's return to the topic. Recently, I received some criticism of my interpretation of the Croatian river names that "Karašica" cannot come from Illyrian *Kurrurrissia (via a Proto-Slavic form *Kъrъrьsьja) because Proto-Slavic phonotactics supposedly didn't allow four syllables with yers to be consecutive. Do you think that criticism is legit?
