Please can anyone assist me with a few puzzling Slavic folksong titles.
They were obtained from a nineteenth-century Czech source that I'm working
on. The source may not be quite accurate in grammar or spelling. I've
scoured various dictionaries and consulted various speakers and have come
to a dead end!
The problems are (given in Latin 2 font, followed by Latin 1 description):
Described as Russian, given by the Czech source as:
'Oj nechody Hr=FDcu'
'Oj nechody Hr-[long y]-cu'
Described as Sorbian (Wendish):
'=A9=B3o tu m=B3odu hol=E8u debuje'
'S[hacek]-[dark l]-o tu m-[dark l]-odu holc[hacek]u debuje'
Described in the Czech source as Croatian:
'Strun=E1m'
'Strun-[long a]-m'
If anyone can mail a solution to any of these I would be very
grateful.
