Talk:Lahda, the Russian Musical Dramatic Art Society

The acronym LAHDA
What does LAHDA stand for? Google has been unhelpful. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  21:49, 18 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Also, I've seen it mainly written as "Lahda", rather than "LAHDA". Maybe it's not an acronym at all. I'm suspecting it's the Russian word Лада (Lada), romanized as Lah-da to stop people saying Lay-da. Лада means "harmony, concord", and also a stop (organ) or fret (guitar). That's gotta be it. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  22:50, 19 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Moved accordingly. --  Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  05:08, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
 * "As the London Observer explained, LAHDA is "a ‘portmanteau’ word, which combines the meanings of harmony, beauty, and sound" Richard Rosing 16:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC) Richard Rosing 16:23, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
