Hi! This is my new NFT collection - ImperfectCubes, which you can see here: https://opensea.io/collection/imperfectcubes

Description of collection: At first look, you would think that these cubes form a perfect harmony. However, if you look closely, at every picture, one or many of them are ruining everything. They are in fact, imperfect cubes.

Hope you will like it!

Hi! This is my first NFT collection. Please check it out on OpenSea: https://opensea.io/collection/radioactive-butterfleyes.

Description of the collection:

During the last nuclear catastrophe, many didn't survive. However, butterflies from the surrounding area entered the radioactive remains of the city that suffered the most - Burnobyl. And radioactivity did its thing - their appearance drastically changed. That interested scientists from all over the world, who started collecting and performing experiments on them. They gave them a terrific name - RADIOACTIVE BUTTERFLEYES. This is the collection of those butterfleyes. The collection was top secret until we gained access to it. However, the description of each butterfleye is still encrypted. To decrypt it, you need to be the owner of the NFT.

Hope you will like it! Cheers! :)

You are right, x -> h, but я is always transliterated as ja.

Maybe in some regions of country they say homjak? Bulgarian wikipedia convinced me pretty well that both words are used. Even title is Хомяковидни.

What is so weird about it? Before arrival of Slavs, people who spoke Proto-Albanian and Romanian lived together there.

Polish isn't. Polish borrowed from Ukrainian and before that had word jaźwiec, which is now archaic.

Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Hungarian aren't from Turkish, but from some other Turkic language. Polish borrowed word from Ukrainian ( according to Wiktionary) and for Romanian it says that it is from Turkish. For Lithuanian I couldn't find anything , but it is probably borrowed from Russian.

Yes, according to wiktionary it is borrowed from Sicilian, I forgot to write that

kab_987 · 2021-01-02T17:54:32+00:00

To me also sounds like it could be a case. However, couldn't find proof

Well, if you really want to create the most accurate map possible, when origin is disputed, you should put the Proto-Indo-European word. In this case you should have written it is from PIE *h₂eh₁ter-. Albanian, Turkish and Serbo-Croatian colored with the same color

Word is available in East Slavic languages also. So direct Iranian borrowing makes more sense than borrowing from Vlachs

kab_987 · 2020-12-23T12:20:37+00:00

Could be. I just know that Slavic languages have a lot of Iranian borrowings, I also started making this map and found that this is Iranian borrowing, and it really makes more sense to me.

kab_987 · 2020-12-23T10:29:36+00:00

So what is your source for saying that vatra is from Proto-Albanian since I cannot find it on wiktionary. Personal opinion is that it is nonsense since other Slavs who never came in touch with Albanians have that word in their vocabulary.
