Are they to be seen as wanderwords from OCS? Ukarinean could not have
anything to do with the Romans for having a direct derivative of it, and
in the same manner the polish. Just the South Slavs came in contact with
the Romans ( actuly with the Greeks). I suppose the spread of the
termology in North Slavic is due the religious texts. How is presented
the word in OCS-texts?
