Talk:Kerch

Etymology of "Kerch"
The greatest of Slavic etymological dictionaries, compiled by the German linguist Max Vasmer, presents three versions of etymology, all of them Slavic: 1) from kr'k (i.e., throat); 2) from korchiti (i.e., to root out woods); 3) from k'rchii (i.e., goldsmith). The first one seems to be most plausible, per Trubachev. --Ghirlandajo 15:26, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Out of my way, bospor.
In the old Alien Legion comic books, bospor is used to replace the word "bastard", if I'm not mistaken.--67.71.159.123 (talk) 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Meaning of Greek name?

 * I removed a statement that Kerch's Greek name Panticapaeum means "fish road". It does not. I know Ancient Greek fairly well. The only Greek word components that I can see in "Panticapaeum" are "pant-" = "all" and "kap-" = "to swallow". It may be a Greek spelling of an Iranian/etc non-Greek name, but I leave the rest to someone who knows about Iranian and other steppe languages of the time.

The colours used on the weather box
You may have noticed that two editors have been changing the colours on the weather boxes for Ukrainian cities for the past two months. There is a discussion of what colours they should be at Talk:Lviv. Please contribute, even if only to say that you don't care, but you just wish they would stop changing it.--Toddy1 (talk) 14:33, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Poison gas
The allegations of the use of poison gas during WW2 must be deleted. There was no such gas used by either side.Royalcourtier (talk) 06:48, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Civilian deaths
During the German occupation 15,000 citizens may well have died. But most would be due to fighting, starvation or disease. To suggest that all were "killed" by the Germans is false, and reminiscent of Soviet style misreporting.Royalcourtier (talk) 06:50, 29 December 2015 (UTC)

Please add the Ukrainian audio pronunciation, changing the start of the article from:



to



This will display as:


 * Kerch (Керч, ; Керчь, ; Old East Slavic: Кърчевъ; Ancient Greek: Παντικάπαιον, Pantikápaion; Medieval Greek: Βόσπορος, Bosporos; Kerç)

It would also be nice to add the audio pronunciation for Russian, Turkish, and the other languages, but as of writing Ukrainian is the only language with a recording for the city name uploaded to Commons. Thank you. 70.181.1.68 (talk) 18:15, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
