Popaz Papazi Priest


I wonder what's the equivelent of pirilli(Marbles made of glass) in Greek.

[cannedmoose]

I was interested to see 'Gaf' or 'Gafi' meaning mistake. The word 'Gaffe' exists in English with a similar attached meaning. I wonder if this is a legacy of the British period in Cyprus?
