Re: Korcsak
in reply to a message by Jim Young
I believe the word korcs is unrelated - Hungarian surnames, unlike those of other countries, very rarely have negative meanings. Of course I'm not a linguist, but I could see Korcsák coming from the Czech Korczak; the Czech "cz" and the Hungarian "cs" indicate the same sound AFAIK.
Budgerigars, ceiling fans, the Times of India are all part of the luggage I brought into the world... Blue Jesus leaked into me; and Mary's desperation, and Joseph's revolutionary wildness, and the flightiness of Alice Pereira... all these made me, too.
