Comments on: reducing the value of our women http://sharpener.johnband.org/2006/10/reducing-the-value-of-our-women/ Trying to make a point Fri, 25 Jan 2008 12:21:35 +0000 hourly 1 By: Lobster Blogster http://sharpener.johnband.org/2006/10/reducing-the-value-of-our-women/#comment-57676 Thu, 26 Oct 2006 15:20:37 +0000 http://www.thesharpener.net/2006/10/25/reducing-the-value-of-our-women/#comment-57676 No particular quibble with your commentary, but must take you up on your use of the word “Bulgars”. Modern day Bulgarians are mostly a mix Slav and Bulgar. Slavs came from northern Europe, whilst Bulgar is the name given to a group of semi-nomadic tribes hailing from the north Black Sea area. Using Bulgar in place of Bulgarian is the equivalent of using Angle for Englishman.

Ah.
