Re: Konakova
in reply to a message by Seda*
It's probably so ...hard to tell often ...I found on my Russian site that the "Kon-" means "end", but it often means "peasant" ...who knows, maybe because they're the end of the line ...at least in terms of importance ...

Most often, from what I've seen, spellings are pretty arbitrary ...so you can usually link like words that are close in either sound or spelling ...if they're from the same language root ...
