Typhoid Fever was not distinguished from Typhus Fever (a lice borne disease) until the mid-19th century. Typhoid is an acute infectious disease caused by bacteria and spread by houseflies infecting food, and drinking infected water and milk. It is characterized by fever and intestinal disorder (inflammation) Today, in Croatian it is called tifusna (Typhoid) + groznica (fever) with emphasis on fever part, rather than water illness. > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Mary Lawrie" <marylawrie@optusnet.com.au> > To: <CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 6:24 AM > Subject: Re: [CROATIA-L] Cause of death translations needed > > > Hope some of these words help you. > > > > gdje = where / here and there > > kad = when > > pokop = burial > > pokopati = bury > > groblje = burial ground > > zupa = parish > > zin could be sin = son > > umrijeti = die, pass away > > > > Mary > > > > > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Birkholz, James" <James.Birkholz@usa.okmetic.com> > > To: <CROATIA-L@rootsweb.com> > > Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 11:41 AM > > Subject: [CROATIA-L] Cause of death translations needed > > > > > > > Any ideas on these? > > > > > > It looks like "stabors", not too sure about the "r", and have been > easily > > > fooled by this script.
