Similar nomenclature is used for north-eastern winds in other littoral areas of eastern Mediterranean and Black Sea basins. Name It is known in Greek as (''mpóra'', pronounced ''bora'') and Italian as . In English, the name ''bora'' is used. The Serbo-Croatian name and Slovene are not etymologically related to ''bora''; they derive from Common Slavic ''burja'' 'storm' (from the verb ''*burĭti''), and the meaning 'bora' developed later. The same root as ''bora'' is found in the name of the Greek mythological figure of Boreas (Βορέας), and the Modern Greek word for the north wind . Historical linguists speculate that the name may derive from a Proto-Indo-European root *''gworhx-'' 'mountain', which gave rise to Slavic ''gora'' and Sanskrit ''giri-'', both 'mountain'. Features The changeable bora can often be felt all over Adriatic Croatia, the Montenegrin Littoral, the Sloven ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Liburnian
The Liburnians or Liburni () were an ancient tribe inhabiting the district called Liburnia, a coastal region of the northeastern Adriatic between the rivers ''Arsia'' ( Raša) and ''Titius'' ( Krka) in what is now Croatia. According to Strabo's ''Geographica'', they populated Kerkyra until shortly after the Corinthians settled the island, c. 730 BC. Origins The Liburni's archaeological culture can be traced to the Late Bronze Age and "were settled since at least the tenth century BC in northern Dalmatia". Some Greek and Roman historians considered them to be of Asia Minor origin. According to some scholars, there were some common characteristics between them and Etruscans, but others refute them and the Asia Minor theory is not generally accepted. Appian considered them as "one of the Illyrian peoples", an "Illyrian tribe", while Florus as the first enemies of Romans during Illyro-Roman Wars.
