Re: Silly question.....



In Polish, the "Z" of "Zelazny" would be pronounced like
the second "G" of "garage". See the little moon horns here on the first "Z".

želazný = of iron

In the picture, taken on the lake of Lecco, where iron working predates
the Industrial Revolution,
železárny means "ironworks", but in Czech, this time.
