Summary/Abstract: The author of this article resumes, with certain additions and reformulations, the statements expressed in an earlier paper (Poruciuc 1999, in English). The main idea of the article is that, by a minute analysis of the most probable etymological correspondents of the appellative on which Thracian – poris was based, one may discover correspondences not only in languages of the Indo-European family, but also in some that represent an “Egyptoid” connection, which may have something to do with the prehistoric macro-family of languages that many linguists now designate as “Nostratic”.
