Someone asked about the "tavern" word Rus. корчма, Bulg. кръчма, Rom. cârciumă, and I deleted it. Yes, these are all related but their source is cloudy, some say they are related to the Cz krkati 'drink' , others to the German Krug 'stein'. In all these languages it is a pleasant place to be on a hot summer's day. Cheers!
