Your tenacity in using wrong symbols despite suggestions it's
really amazing. Once for all: do *not* use "=". If you want to
precise the meaning, you should use simple quotes [`,'].
The basical meaning of "rumân" is ethnical (as proven by Istro-
Romanian and Aromanian equivalents). Derived meanings include
also `christian`, `serf`, `man (husband)`. So?
