translation query

[Inna Tigountsova]

Hello,
contextually though "pribabakhi" usually mean some sophisticated
additions to something. For example, "on vsegda so svoimi pribabakhami" -
he is always picky about something/ he always requires something nobody
else does/ he has some strange ideas about something.
Hope this helps.
