Re: Peak

I am sorry, but this shot is taken from UA side and the true UA name is PIP IVAN. Yes, the altitude is 1937 - 1940, so I use the higher one...

Re: Peak

:-) Well well, the only Carpathian creature that knows the true names of people and things is the last dragon.:-) The Ukrainian "pip" (they often say "i" when all of us say "o") is not any better at all. In fact, personally, I'm in favour of "Pop Ivan". To my mind, a "v" is more suitable than "w" since it's only the Polish language that prefers (like German) "w" to "v'. And it's only the Ukrainian that has a "Pip" for "Priest" - the local people (Rusyns aka Hutsuls) have had "Pops" for ages. Have a careful look at paragraph 7 here. To sum up, a "pip" in the Mar(a)marosh Mts is only a little less weird than the newly invented Romanian "linx" which has always been the "ris/rys" (OK Andreea, even a "ras" will look better to me, as long as a funny wolf hasn't scanned it somewhere in the midst of the Bavarian Forest. LOL
