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?
Why are you asking us? No one here is conversant with the constraints of Proto-Slavic phonotactics. Nor do we care.
