I'm not entirely sure, but you are probably right: 1) I may have confounded
matters with another related item: the city of Hercegnovi, 2) I wrote Hersek
where I should have written Herceg /xertseg/, the Slav (Serbo-Croatian, not the
Turkish) form, in 'Herceg-novi'. Whether Herceg < Ger. Herzog, I don't know.
