In Cyriot kellegis is a bald man, so very similar to the Turkish (I think)

Kelledjis is a stubborn man. Kellis is a bald man.

Would anyone care to translate for us non (but learning slowly) Greek speakers please?

By rights, 'kelledjis' should mean a 'head' seller (Butcher ofcourse). I cannot see it as meaning a stubborn man, but accept that borrowed words can have their meanings altered. Perhaps butchers are deemed to be clever.

Tim wished to know the usage of the Turkish word 'kelle'. Kelle = kefali = head/skull.

I gave him a few options. Kifeas also had a few gems.

I understood your post D, it was Lena's that was causing me the problem and I was hoping that some kind person would translate as I can only glean a little of it. Must practice my Greek

Yes my friend, you said the correct word..to proper Greek.!!!!

Oh. Sorry, silly me. Perhaps a PM to Daskala Lena will solve your problem.
