		It is not a Slavic language and it is absolutely not a Proto-Slovene.
		[ Since there is no conclusive proof that "Slavic tribes" came to Slovenia in the Sixth Century A.D., and much historical testimony for a much earlier presence, this only proves that earlier historians either did not do their homework or consciously distorted the historical record for political or other reasons.
		However, that the languages of other Slavic nations may also have preserved other equally or nearly as ancient elements of the original proto-Slavic language in no way contradicts or even affects the Veneti theory as presented by Polish and Slovenian researchers.

		In some South Slavic vernaculars, there exists an interesting phrase do zla boga ("to [the] evil god," or "to [the] evil of God," which may denote ownership rather than some dark attribute), used as an attribute to express something which is exceedingly negative.
