Stobi – an ancient city in Paeonia, later conquered by the Macedonians. The archaeological site has been located in the present-day region of Gradsko, near Demir Kapija, in central areas of the Republic of Macedonia. This city was first mentioned by Titus Livius, in his writings about the victory of Philip V of Macedonia against the Dardanians in 197 BC.
The name of Stobi in ancient Paeonian-Macedonian means „post," „pillar", and is connected with the Old-English „staff,“ or „staeff“ (which meant - a long stick used for carrying), Irish „sab“ (shaft), Old-Church Slavonic „stoboru“ (pillar) and many others.
Proto-Indo-European root of all of these words, is – „STEBH" (mеаning – stem, post, to support, place firmly on, fasten)…
In the modern Macedonian language, we have the word STOLB / „столб“, meaning – PILLAR, GRIP, LEVERAGE. We also have the noun STEBLO / „стебло“, which means – STEM, TRUNK, SHANK, STALK…
In the Republic of Macedonia, historians and archaeologists have located two more cities with similar names: Stybera (near Prilep) and Astibo (first mentioned by Polien in 3rd century BC, located at modern-day town of Štip, north-eastern Macedonia).
Stybera (originally called Stubera) was placed near present-day city of Prilep (south-western Macedonia). Strabo and Livy tell us that in 200 BC the Roman army fighting Philip V of Macedonia, turned from Herakleia and came to Stubera. Eventually, Strabo mentions the city as the Macedonian base during Perseus' struggle with the Illyrians in 169 BC.
Ancient Macedonian Gods: LEIVINO
The Greek propagandists often claim that the Macedonians and the Hellenes believed in same gods, and therefore – they were „the same people”. Leivino, the Macedonian god of wine is just one of the many examples that expose those Greek lies.
Leivino is the Macedonian equivalent of Dionysus, according to the Hellenic lexicographer Hesychius. Dionysus, the ,,Hellenic” god of wine, grape harvest and pleasure, on the other hand, was actually of Thracian origin (Herodotus, History, 2:49, 52, 143-146).
By hearing, or reading the name of Leivino today, an average Macedonian would instantly recognize two Macedonian words. First one is the verb LEE / лее, which means „to pour", „to scoop" or LEJ / ЛЕЈ - its imperative form. The second one is VINO / вино, which means WINE. That’s just a theory. There might be another explanation of which we don’t know and would like to hear about. We don’t claim anything, but it’s still worth mentioning and considering.
The word WINE / VINO sounds similar in many languages, because it is Proto-Indo-European. The Ancient Phrygians used to call it – OINIS. The modern Greek word for WINE is KRASI / κρασί.
Ancient Macedonian Word : GARKAN
According to Hesychius, GARKAN was the authentic ancient Macedonian word for – rod ог stick. It might be etymologically connected with the modern Macedonian (or, wider South-Slavic) word - гранка/ GRANKA, GRANA, which means – sprig, twig, branch…

A book published in 2014 from historian Clifford R. Backman states that Slavs didn't displace indigenous Croats, Srbs and Macedonians but that the Avars adopted the language that was already spoken on this areas.
In short Clifford R. Backman does not dispute Illyrian herritage of named population but he combines DNA and historical evidence. As Croats, Srbs and Macedonians have indigenous I haploup group in large percentage it is certain that these people are ancient Illyrians and that Scythian tribe of Avars (not Mongolian but white mostly redish haired population arrived from Asia which was entirely Scythian meaning white, blond or redhaired) after Mongolian invasion on Xiongnu Emporium which was Scythian or Amazon in the very early begin. Xiongnu Emporium fell around 400 AD and Avars and Huns moved westwards towards Russia and Europe in those times.
They, Avars would be that R1a component in Southern Slavic gene pool.
It is not impossible that Avars already spoke form of Slavic because Tocharians (Xiongnu neighbours) spoke very similar language to Slavic.
(numbers are identical to slavic also kcer is cker in Tocharian and much more)
Tocharians too were redhaired or blond, there was no Mongolian mummies in Asia this old.
