Not sure about the actual etymology of planina but indeed it is related with Ukrainian polonyna.
In Polish we say polonina under ukrainian influence, although a polish version should sound plonina if we followed the language system.
All of the above mentioned words originated from protoslavic polnina. There are different eastern, southern and western slavic variations, because of the so called TerT, TelT/TorT,TolT groups.
(For instance protoslavic bolto for "mud" is realised as bloto in Polish, boloto in Ukrainian and blato in Slovenian).

Here it gets a bit tricky, because we can't be sure where to derive the above mentioned protoslavic polnina from. For sure it's a noun built by adding the -ina suffix to an adjective polny. It's not clear for me what this adjective meant at the time.
It can come both from:
- pole "field"
- polny (plany/plony/polonyj) meaning "unproductive, infertile, arid"
- something else maybe (?)
Anyway both of those above mentioned have a meaning related to a ground that doesn't give yield - desertous or at least lacking forest, which probably wasn't very common on slavic territories in the middle ages.

(Sorry for no Polish characters in the post).

Thinking Polish, any sort of pole= field/treeless makes sense. Well, another interesting thing is the Bulgarian set: gora for forest, planina for mountain.

Bob should know. There's still a g-copy that can be used to recreate the page.
And now there's a good TR left orphaned.

I'd like to meet you.

Thanks Borut, that would be great. We almost met last year.
Better chance in summer though, looks like I'm not gonna have enough free days this winter in the new job...

I wonder how whoever purged (deleted) even got aware of this page. Do they check out the whole site, take a look at every single page?

:lol: Looks like you're lucky today as I happen to know the Mrzla Gora tale. It got on my list the other week while I was trying to clean up an SP area in and around EC Europe, at the same time comparing what pages for different countries look like. A Gora caught my eye easily as in Polish mountain translates as góra. So, playing a beater for the Elves, I put it on one of my lists. And an elf felt like sending an arrow. That’s that.

A nice day here as well. Plus, talking of the mountains, it looks like most of the September snow has just gone.
Have a nice concert!

It's great to have a job you love doing. I hope you've been having a good time, although not on Mrzla gora.

I gave it a thought.
I do my job. And I get paid for it in euros. Love! Love and hate. Passionate, maybe. I think the dogs pulling London's sledge also loved their job, and hated it.
BK
BTW, I jist came back from Mrzla gora.

:D
BTW A little quiz: Which of these do you hate most?
1 Euros
2 Playing an instrument which is not your fav
3 Playing music when you're not feeling like it
4 Playing some music you don't like
5 Playing when you're not on Mrzla gora
6 Playing when you're not on Planjava
:?: :wink:
