Bone-throwing games

[atacama@global.co.za]

Thank you Alina,

> Cf. This German dinner-dance event is sponsored by the American Historical
Society of Germans from Russia and features kids activities like bannock, a
game involving the throwing of horse bones; a dinner that includes berock,
a meat pie made of seasoned beef, cabbage, and onions; and dancing to live
polka music from Gary Seibert.

* Exactly, but these good people are under the impression and
insist that "Bannock" is a Russian word.
But then, they use the work "Berock", meaning "Pirog" ...
therefore "Bannock" could have once been a derivative of ????

Just curious how words can be massacred and twisted and eventually
insist on recognition.

Thanks

Vera Beljakova
