Your use of the Word Lurucadi has sang bells in my ears.

My understanding of the word, it means 'from Lurucina'. However in

Kophinou there also was a family of Lurucadis too. I am (so I am told)

related to them. They has lovely pomegranate trees in their 'orchards'.

The father 'Lurucadi' was killed in an accident when the tractor he was

driving toppled over him in 1958. He had two sons and a handful of daughters.Would that ring a bell?

Regards and sorry for hi-jacking your thread.

No Problem. Unfortunatly I was born in that year, so no. Bu my neighbours "Gitsi" was from Kofunye, may be you know them. They moved to lurucina sometime after 63. However pomegrantes was our speciality. That and zivania.

I wonder what Copno(Kophinou) and Elisides(Anglissidhes) meant in Latin. It is interesting to know that our villages existed as far back as 1571.

A lovely map indeed. So much history, which should be preserved.

It is interesting to know that Cyprus existed further back than the beginning of your history here, 1571 (BO .... Before Ottomans).

But yes I agree, lovely maps.

Oracle dearest, do you have to put your mark on all statements one puts here. Many maps of those days were dated as 1570, but re-printed with added Ottoman flags on them. Some printed at later dates had Latin insignias on them. I am not one to deny Cyprus its history. As a Cypriot I am proud of our history.
I was merely wondering how far back these villages existed. Most made their first appearance on these maps during the sixteenth century, but must have existed long before. Perhaps our Chiroikhitian friend might shed some light on these.

Well how else can I tease out more information from you

Are you saying there are no Byzantine Maps of Cyprus? BTW ... have you caught the exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts yet? My son described it as "Skillage!" ... so worth seeing then!

Methinks our Choirokitian friend is nursing a sore head from being out on the razz with the wild bunch

Have you tried asking. You may be surprised at the reply.
If you have any maps of any country with cyprus villages please share them. I don't want this forum to develop into point scoring. It would be greatly appriciated if all contributions are of positive nature to help us understand this lovely country of ours.

Thanks

What would these countries be, which have Cyprus villages then?

(P.S. Thank Iceman for saving you from ridicule!)

So I've used of instead of from. Well done. Pitty you didn' read the rest. So now please go away.

Oh! You will have all your work scrutinized by a frustrated school mistress.........Obsessed with it she is!!!

Thanks. I am new to this. I will ignore her, see how long it takes before she gets the message.

Listen Turkish YFront.

If you are going to come here and post, you had better get your facts right.

Now, which country other than the RoC has "Cyprus villages"?

Admit you made a mistake or explain yourself, you debating coward!

Whether it is of or from makes no difference to your inference that there are more than one countries which have Cyprus villages.

It's not the grammar I am querying but your Geography!

Care to explain this yourself, or is this another of your stupidities that someone else (more rational than Zan ) has to come along and rescue your from?

I think a 'comma' in the right place would have helped Oracle see what was meant. I think I'll keep out of this argument.

See what I mean.....Frustrated!!!!

Ok OK....I weel appolgise for heem......We know spik inglisc very welll...Sorry for di confusyon.....

[denizaksulu]

Ok. Two commas on the 5th option. Might mean a map produced by any other country Perhaps a Spanish or Italian Cartographer or even French. Not all of us have 'perfect' English as good as Halil. If you really wanted to understand you would have.

You knit/Nit pick too much. Is it your 'superiority complex'?

Don't lower yourself to her level. If you ignore them, most attention seekers tend to go away. I was hoping she may lead me to some more maps of Greek origin but never mind. Any previous maps I have found had very few details on them.
