Spelling

Just added stub message. Randomly stumbled onto this entry. JonesE 03:48, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)

And yet again creation by our fellow anon. There is no such word as zagavory in Polish. It sounds totally eastern slavic. Perhaps it is some translation from Polish to Russian and then transcryption to English. I think I've heard of something like zamówienie (i.e. zamówienie choroby) which could be a translation of the Russian zagovor or zagavor. However, there were no Zagavory in Polish mythology - whatever that means. [[User:Halibutt|Halibu tt]] 21:18, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

You are in the right. In the form of ZagAvory it could be a Belorusian term, if they didn't have their own distinctive one - Zamovy. The article needs the name change to Zagovory as the only really existent spelling option.Lapchenko (talk) 02:07, 27 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Expert help needed

To help with determining the correct terms in different languages, an expert in Slavic languages and/or folklore may be needed here. Amitchell125 (talk) 15:35, 15 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Amitchell125: Is your tag from 2020 still relevant to the current article? The "Etymology" section appears to "identify" the relevant terms in the three major Eastern Slavic languages plus Polish, a Western Slavic language which has historically influenced and been influenced by the neighbouring Belarussian and Ukrainian languages. (These terms being zagоvory, zamowliannia, zamowy, and zamawianie choroby.) If this isn't what you meant, could you update/clarify the tag? – Scyrme (talk) 00:58, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Scyrme: Hi there, it very much looks as if the whole article needs to be checked where refs are needed and the text cited correctly, a job for someone with a good knowledge of the subject. I'll amend the tag. Amitchell125 (talk) 07:43, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
