Croatian ancient river naming conventions

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? Well, I don't see how we can calculate the p-value. Can we even be reasonably certain that no Proto-Slavic word contained four consecutive syllables with yers? And even if there were no such words, how can we know it was a phonotactic constraint? No native Proto-Germanic words started with 'p', but plenty of loanwords did (which means it wasn't a phonotactic constraint).

Oh shut the fuck up. The very first post in this thread, your post, ends with this question. Quote:If I am right about the river names, that suggests I am probably also right about Croatian toponyms suggesting that the Croatian War of Independence didn't happen, right?
