Talk:Muni Seroff

Names

 * Parents: Лейзер Ицикович Зильберанг and Добриша Дувид-Лейбовна. ruwiki says so; fail to find RS
 * Origin of name Muni: some scarse sources say it is truncation of childhood pet name 'Haimuniu' (ru source says: Хаймуниу). I strongy believe this is transcription error and "Chinese whispers": the pet name derived from Хаим by Russian rules would be Хаймуня (Haimunia) see eg [here) The [[vocative case]] of Хаймуня  would be Хаймуню (Haimuniu), see, but of course no RS for Setroff. And of course "Хаймуниу" looks wildly weird, indicative of intellectual laziness of whoever wrote this word in the internets. - Altenmann >talk 20:35, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
 * P.S. 'Хаймуню' is a vocative in Ukrainian, not in Russian, so this gives a glimpse into the Russian-Ukrainian-Yiddish "patois" in Bessarabian Governorate of Russian Empire. - Altenmann >talk 22:29, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
