Slav

Postby bbeeton » Sun May 15, 2022 11:15 am

A person of Slavic ancestry living or originating in a Slavic country and natively speaking a Slavic language.

As a particle, it may be part of the name of such a person, as Mstislav Rostropovich, known fondly as "Slava".

Or as the stem of a verb, "Слава Україні" (Glory to Ukraine), a salute most recently heard as the Ukrainian entry into the Eurovision song competition won the contest to great acclamation.

The root of slave, too.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.
