Hi Phyllis, this words are Germanic and as I can see you already send your query to Austrian rootsweb. For the word "gostac" it's so: Slovenian dictionary will not recognize it, because it's not in use any more. It was meaning for person, who hadn't had any of self property, so he/she must travel around and find work at house with a lot of land/vineyard. The root of this word is 'guest'. Hope this helps, daniela from sLOVEnia > I have a couple of words I hope someone can > translate for me. I've tried my Slovene > Dictionary but can't seem to find them.
