As far as I know Risos is lynx in Peloponnese, kastravetsi and gruda heard them for the first time

Some of these only exist in certain dialects.

N.Macedonian, I like the challange :). Let me try before i reveal the stripes: Mundos- no idea Risos- риза? Shirt or blouse Kastravetsi-краставица cucumber Kotsida - no idea, several thing pop in my mind Rucho - no idea Vrykolakas - врколак werewolf Gruda - hm may be града - breast, or грудка - lamp of dirt Kora- кора crust Dobros - добро ? Good ?

After revealing: Risos - рис lynx, how dumb am I :) it’s obvious Mundos - still unrecognisable to me Kotsida - hmm , коса is hair, but no we dont use that word for braids - Pletenka is braid
