Sorry for the unfinished message last time. Some people are good at
multitasking, in my case one student entering my office signifies the
premature death of a message to be posted.

As I remember from Jirasek's historical works (my school assigned
readings), he makes the distinction -ovna (unmarried) and -ova (married).
Whether he does that under Polish influence (Sienkiewicz), or he knew more
than we do, is not known by me.  Professor Mestan would know.
