What does "horkatika" mean and does anyone know where it originates from?
Older TC's also use this word to describe someone as "backward" or "illiterate" is it the same meaning as yours?

Horkon means village from Horion in Greek.

When you call someone a horkatis in Nicosia for example you generally mean someone who is severely challenged in the ways of savoir vivre

And horkatika is the village language/dialect which is the Cypriot dialect because people who live in the city try to speak in proper Greek with less Cypriot words.

for a poushtokalamara you're not half bad! Usually you boys get stuck at "inampou yinete?"

αντελλοσιαστικα

Ok, some legitimate questions first.
Is it a single word, as it's written?
What about the τόνος?
and is it really αντελλοσιαστικα and not αντελλοσιαστηκα;

Never mind, does it have anything to do with getting scared? If it's a composite word then the second part (σιάστηκα) could be the Cypriot version of "σκιάχτηκα" which means exactly that. It derives from the word "σκιά" and was originally used to describe the fear horses have of their shadow. Then the first part could be giving emphasis, although I've no idea what it means. So, is it "petrify"?
