Specificity of taška[edit]

I estimate that taška, though referring to a flexible container, is a more specific term than bag. For instance, in sleeping bag, bag is translated as pytel into Czech. To be researched and completed. --Daniel Polansky 08:05, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of taška[edit]

I estimate the origin of taška to be the German term Tasche. I have no source to verify that though. --Daniel Polansky 08:11, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The source is V. Machek, Etymologický slovník jazyka českého, ČSAV, 1968, p. 637 (ze sthn. tasca). Vasmer considers the possibility that the German word Tasche (and the OHG word) derives from Slavic sehr zweifelhaft. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 09:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Image of taška[edit]

I have added an image to support an inductive definition of the term, while the proper analytical one is still missing. --Daniel Polansky 08:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
