Reply to: Opacheskaya, Tourabelidze, Wyquitzsvv by Anoush
Just guessing here as I don't have any good resources for these languages, but I would guess Opacheskaya and Wyquitsw are Slavic and Tourabelidze is Germanic ...

Could the ending for Opacheskaya be a Russian feminine ending? Wyquitsw has too many consonants - making me think it's Polish. And Tourabelidze seems to have a German ending and the look of a compound word which the Germans are quite fond of ...

I'm interested as well, any experts out there?
