Totally wrong Lopata means, lop'/ flat+ ata' adjective that forms this word just like ed' from English flattened' and ata' is found in all Romance languages including Romanian Lopata derives from Latin LOBATA/ LOBATUS and is one of many things that have a round and flat lobate shape,( ear lobe like) from Latin LOBUS' ( a linguistic term) Notice that Romanian has at'( with all ,a,e,I,o,u) while there's no ata' atu, ato in any slavic languages. Compare Romanian , subtiata' ( thinned) or ingrosata ( thickened) " Moneda a fost INGROPATA intr'o groapa SAPATA si ASTUPATA cu LOPATA" The coin was buried( INGROPATA) in a pit digged (SAPATA) and covered ( ASTUPATA) with the shovel ( LOPATA) There's another 'lopata in Italian Scalopata/ Scalopini, French Escalope, English Scalope ( scal/ skal or shell+ lope/ flat) a reference to the flat round shape of this crustacean) Even in English,slap' means hitting something flat with the palm of your hand. Not only lop.is a prefix or suffix for flat thighs Lob ( Lobus, Lobate) Lap ( lapas/ leaf in Lithuanian), English slap' Lab ( Romanian, Laba'/ paw) English slab (slabs are obviously flat) Romanian/ Latin , Labia' Even , lup' from , lupa'( magnifying glass).

The south slavic zidar' ( bricklayer) also derives from Romanian Zid'( wall)/ zidar'( bricklayer) and there's just another,ar' sufixed word in south slavic (pekar'/cook) both with typical Romanian ar' In Romanian all the BASIC trades words end in ar' Zidar'/bricklayer) Zid' ( wall) from Sit,Site, Asedium,Sediu,where ,s' is pronounced z' like in English or German Compare The resident ( rezident) resists ( rezista) in his residence ( residence) In Romanian language most BASIC trades names end up in ar' Zidar'/ bricklayer Fierar/ blacksmith Tamplar/ carpenter Gradinar/ gardener Carturar/ intellectual And PLUGAR' ( plower) If slavs claim PLUG ( plow) as their own, then where's their PLUGAR' just in the case of , zidar'??

The Slavic ,ora' or orati' ( to plow) derives from Romanian, ara' which is pronounced right like Latin arare', and there's "Ar"unit ( 100 square meters) and ,arac'( post) one of the four posts for four corners of a "A"

Slavic kopati' ( digging) derives from Romanian SAPAT/SAPATI/ SAPATA and there's also SAPA ( grub hoe) in Romanian, while they have, motyka'

Indo European connection is absolutely out of the question here because words from IE gotta have similar names in at least five or six languages like for example, door' or ,to milk'common in more that ten IE languages.
