The reputation of Stroumbi the Great is of the utmost importance to me !!
I hereby publicly declare that I shall make up your loss on my next visit to Cyprus , I can not stand by and see the good name of Stroumbi The Great tarnished over such an amount of money :lol: :lol:

LONG MAY STROUMBI THE GREAT CONTINUE TO BE THE CENTRE OF THE UNIVERSE :lol:


I think it will be difficult to be the centre of the Universe
as it lies in a dip.

But i must congratulate the Mayor of Strumbi as a couple
of years ago he organised a festival and bought
Georgos Margaritis to sing and it was quite lovely.
He is also doing well with all the icons on the walls on the main road.
Send him my regards

I know him well , the festival is the Dionisos festival which takes place every year in August .
Have note your comments concerning the geographical location of Stroumbi The Great !!
Dip or no dip , that is the question :lol:

P, what does the 'oksa' word mean? It sounds like the Turkish word for 'OR' which is written as 'YOKSA'. Just curious at the coincidental use.

Thank you.

Is it a Greek word or a Turkish word?

Thats right. I will check the etymology in a minute. I am sure its a Turkish derived word.

As the proper Greek for or is ή it must be used have come into the Cypriot dialect from Turkish.

Yes, ofcourse it is. What I was thinking is, what Greek word (Cypriot Greek that is) would have been used instead of 'oksa'. Does that explain why there are no 'alternative' solutions in the Greek mind?

Regards:lol: :lol:

No seriously . Also a Greek (Hellenic) word would be useful too.
