[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Re: ARYSTYNY

[judikat]

Hello, All,

Thank you for your input about "arystyny."  The comments have given me much
food for thought [and consideration].

Though I have studied Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German, the closest
I've come to the non-Indo-European language structure is through Esperanto.

I have not seen any original document with "arystyny" in it nor have I ever
run across it in my research; therefore, I wouldn't know if an initial "A"
replaced or mistranscribed "K," which makes some sense.  The final "y" as a
feminine marker is interesting.  The name was handed down to me by cousins
who interviewed the oldest members of the family while they were still
alive.

Regards,

Judith
