Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques On this page, tkach is just a shortage for tkachestvo (weaving - the process, not the fabric, tkanie is another word for it ). This is the title of the page. But tkach could mean a weaver in some slavic languages. I am Czech and this world is not so often used (old) version of tkadlec (weaver). A is pronounced long. Tkan� na karetkach (destickach) is TW in Czech.
BTW In case you fail to get a translation of the page from another source...:-) ...I had to study Russian in school for 8 years (it was oligatory from 5th grade for all pupils in Czech until the fall of communism in 1989). I haven't used this language since, but could understand all on this page, so I could translate it for Twist journal - with someone to correct my English :-) and not sooner than September :-( Gabriela ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gina Barrett" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: 16. cervence 2004 11:51 Subject: Re: Russian TW > Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques > > Nora, Thank you for posting this link, I too like the notation - as it > works when the text is in a different language it is something we could all > use. > > - now a question that is a little off-topic and odd. :-) > > > > www.old-chest.narod.ru/tkach.htm. > > I notice that the page is called 'tkach' in English characters.
