[makedonin]

Does one of you ever used the word "kentre" when referring to a child ?

I use it often. I was looking in to the Thracian glossary today, and I noticed this:

kenthas ‘a child, descendant’ [Latv. re-cens ‘fresh, young, new’, with another suffix in the New-Bulg chedo ‘a child’]

It seems to me that kentre is very reassembling of kenthas, even more than chedo...

Does anyone of you have ever used this word ?

[Risto the Great]

I have not heard "kentre".

Makedonin, have you heard "grede", "gredam"?

[makedonin]

I have not heard "kentre".

Makedonin, have you heard "grede", "gredam"?

I know grede as balk or beam, as for gredam, I can't exactly say what it's meaning. I use also a variant of креденец >cupboard,dresser as gredenets.

Pity that you don't know "kentre". Seems that the IDIVIDI dictionary is also unfamiliar to this word.

It is very often used word in Shtip though. But I really don't know if it is used elsewhere.

[Risto the Great]

gredam = I am coming = doidam

[Soldier of Macedon]

Makedonin, keep looking in to the Kentre word, it sounds very interesting, see if it is used anywhere else.

RTG, I hear Gredam all the time from the Lerinci. Don't quote me on it, but I think Pulevski uses 'Grendai' as a word common among the Mijak tribe.

[makedonin]

gredam = I am coming = doidam

I know only of similar word in Slovenian gremo meaning let's go...... as for gredam, I have never heard of it...

Makedonin, keep looking in to the Kentre word, it sounds very interesting, see if it is used anywhere else

I will...... it may be word used in East Macedonia, cause we are closer to Thracia I ain't sure, but maybe with time it will resolve ...

Have anyone of you heard of pentra > climbing on trees or objects ? But it could be related to the Serb penja > to climb on, ain't sure about that too.

It has similar meaning as katere> climbing on trees (I would use it exclusively for climbing on trees ) which I think was used by the Bulgars too..... Have to look about that too....

[NikodimMKD]

Here are some words that I found that we use in Lerinsko or around my village Klabuchist(ch)a:

Skorni-boots
shmerk-hose
kadri-pictures
kurtul-potato
futa-apron
stis-wall
dzrdzala-eyeglasses
sidor-iron for ironing clothes
plachki-clothes
patoritsa-cane
noshja-night

thats a few for now

Actually I believe futa is a derivation of the italian word "fusta" which is apron. Albanians and neoTurks use this word as well.

The word "sidor" is 'greek' in origin from sidiro which means iron.

[NikodimMKD]

Sidor is used by us, it may well be a Greek word (I cannot find it used by the Turks).
I still think "stis" is from "pressed" bricks though.

Sidor as I mentioned earlier comes from the 'greek' sidiro. The name Sidor comes from the name Isidoros which is an Orthodox name. Many prelates in the Orthodox Church use this name.

Osiris,

Good thing I don't bet. Else, I'd clean house with your "jewish" theories.

http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/Isidore

The boy's name Isidore \i-sido-re, is(i)-dore\ is of Greek origin, and its meaning is "gift of Isis". Isis was the principal goddess of ancient Egypt, and Isidore was a popular name among the ancient Greeks. There were several saints named Isidore. Isadora is the feminine form.

[Risto the Great]

Oh, so it is Egyptian + Macedonian:

Isis + Dar

Excellent and quite appropriate given the Ptolemaic Macedonian dynasty of Egypt.

[Soldier of Macedon]

Nikodim, go back to your 'Brazillian' session you Greek idiot, perhaps you'll decide affirmatively what identity to select for the purpose of sliming around here like the pathetic imposter that you are.

[Diabolical]

This may have been answered already but I'm curious to the origins of the phrases "alal da ti e" and "spolaj ti"

Are they originally Macedonian or borrowed?
