"Na razstavi predstavljene idrijske čipke in izdelki iz čipk so delo članic ... tulipane, pajke, satovje, slince, kantu rožice, rožice z listi, figure ..." Now, picking through that sentence, I think it is about lace (čipke?) and it seems to list either motifs or types of lace or techniques. I am intrigued by the two words, "satovje" and "slince" because I would think that "satovje" sounds like Antje's Italian "salive" but since there are two different words probably satovje and slince are not considered to be the same thing. Will look forward to finding out what someone who knows what the language is has to say. Adele North Vancouver, BC (west coast of Canada) ================================================================ Well depending how you got that text, you may not have seen the English translation "Therefore, laceworks include wide and narrow lines, twisted lines, half-turn, small plaits, flowers of plaits and fish, holes, brain, tulips, spiders, honeycomb, kantu flowers, flowers, flowers with leafs, figures, etc." If we take tulips and tulipane as equal, then the Slovenian list has 7 entries and the English list has 7 entries from tulips to the end of the sentence. However, the Slovenian list has only 3 entries after "slince" and those 3 entries begin with "kantu rozice". The English list has 4 entries to the end beginning with "kantu flowers". >From the OIDFA Point Ground study which includes Slovenian lace, the word for honeycomb is "mre za", which does not appear in the Slovenian list. But it is not "slince, since we know that "slince" is a tape containing spiders. I think "slince" was not translated at all, which would make "pajke" = spiders and "satovje" = honeycomb.
