A Latin etymology for Romanian 'da' = yes

In this article the author argues that Latin ita is a possible source for Romanian 'da' = yes, ordinarily assumed to be a Slavic borrowing. This emerges as
phonologically possible, but unprovable. This controversial etymology is given
even more credence by the demonstration that the Latin conjunction 'ita quod' is
a probable source for the Romanian conditional particle 'dacă'.

Keywords: Romanian, Latin, da, dacă, ita quod, yes, sic.
