Names of places in Croatia

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

The place names of croatian toponyms simply don't mean what you think they do.  Linguists have told you this.  Combatants have told you this. If I had to guess, random motherfuckers in your life have told you this.

And how are combatants experts on the issue? They are not even experts on what "Vukovar" means, as I'd wager most of them wrongly think it means "city of wolves". Much less are they experts on whether that k-r that repeats in the river names in Croatia (Krka, Korana, Krbavica, Krapina, Kravarščica and two rivers named Karašica) meant "to flow" (which is what my paper is about).

From my intense, years-long study of the etymology of Croatian place names, I agree that ‘Vukovar’ does not mean ‘city of wolves’ (it means ‘chicken of the hot trouser parts’ after a regional delicacy).

The meaning of the repeating k-r is less clear, but it likely refers to either chocolate candy or hovercrafts.
