Naiad is not the same as rusalka. It's similar, but not the same. For a one reason, it comes from a different mythology. And lives in a different climatic area.Litany said:What, like naiads?

Idun said:Romantic sounding name. Yes. I couldn't agree more. It would be hard to find something as perfect.
BTW, English-speaking translators (or whoever is responsible for that kind of things) may invent a suitable word for a female spirit who inhabits the water. In Polish literature, for example, we have a Polish word for a halfling, which I'm sure is quite a new word, which didn't naturally appear in the language. On the other hand, the effect of such translation could be a nightmare. I don't know which way is better.

An Instance of the fingerpost~ Iain Pears
SillyWabbit said:I got a novel by Ian Pears. The novel was called The Dream of Scipio and it is one of the WORST and I repeat WORST novels I have ever read in the whole entire 32 years of my life on this planet. I was so bored that I started to watch my finger nails growing in place of reading it. So... not sure I would recommend that author
