Hi! This user name, babay ağa / бабай агъа (/bɑˈbɑj ɑˈɣɑ/) is a Crimean Tatar word which may be the origin of Baba-Yaga. This compound actually means something like “daddy-uncle”, understood as a vocative for a dad who cares for the others. It was also the name of a prince. Sure not a frightening entity, no one like Баба-Яга

Note: Before the “Unified login” system, my user name was Kąği Oĥąko (for the English editions only): Now that I'm back after a 2 year 7 month “health-break”, I'd like to unify all my user names — basically, one per language — and have their history pages “melted” together into the new ones. Thanks forward for any help (please, be patient, I'm seriously incapacitated and visually impaired) to have this done by some who has expertise and tools... well, an admin, I guess.
