Hi,



Does anyone have a copy of Aleksander Brückner's (S³ownik etymologiczny jêzyka

polskiego) or a more modern work?  I am curious about the etymology of the name

and how it relates to similar names like Haluska, Holosko, Holaska, Holuska etc.

Note that there is a hook over the "s" pronounced like the English "sh". The

name appears in modern day Slovakia, Czech, Belarus very near Poland and

Lithuania and possible the Ukraine.  It also could be found in Galicia (around

1900).  Perhaps someone knows of other information sources on Slavic surnames ?

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards,

Dave Holoshka
