What does Φούρκα mean?

[Mustiejodu]

It means sikdiyimin orosbu cocuklari

[Get Real!]

Vourka is that pair-shaped leather bag that shepherds hang over their shoulder.


But the word spelt with an “F” like you have, means nothing.

[Lordo]

it is also a place in greece.

Hmm... no relation with "fury" or "furia" in GC dialect? It is said that in TC dialect it means something very much or a lot in numbers... fro example the Φούρκα of figs...

In this context, the word is φουκτα, with a 't' and no 'ρ' this means handfull.

I only know Cypriot... maybe it means something in Greek.

GC linguist Yangullis suggested these words: η φούρκα: οργή, θυμόσ

and when i type in google Φούρκα+cypriot, several good blog pages about Cypriote Gree come out as a result but they are in Greek...

Thanks B25.. actually the word means something on up-trend... that's why it's a lot in numbers....

Another example: there was a video game φούρκα in 80s...
