I just made the connection with Rum. "ispashi" and the adjective
"spãshit". Interesting, the loan way here appears to be
controversate since the source for Rum. "ispashi" is given
CommonSlavic "sUpasiti" and the source for the adjective "spãshit"
is the same CommonSlavic "sUpasiti". Which should be the etymology
of this Slavic "sUpasiti"? Are there other meanings of the words
beside the religios character?
