Zorka the dog!

[santino]

Here's the story:

I've got 5 puppies. 4 will be given away, one stays with me
It's a clever, very calm dog that always observes me and the whole environment sharply.

And best is yet to come: The dog's name will be "Zorka"

Zorki in Russian means "sharp-sighted", in Poland people call the Zorki camera "Zorka" (it's female and so is the dog).

PS:
Fedka would be cool too but is directly connected with the history of NKVD

Will this be the first camera-dog?

Zorka is very close to Russian sub-word from Zarya (sunrise or sunset light, here is camera with same name as well ). Pioneers' Zorka is something anyone from USSR would know.

PS on PS: I also opted out NKVD children camp factory made camera and went with after Stalin Zorki few day ago. For same reason I'm not fan of Leica LTM made around same time. Nazi were in touch with NKVD.

I know the Zarya. Imo totally different pronouncation. Neither the Word Zorki nor Zorka does exist in Polish, it is just the Camera (like Leica or Nikon in English.)

Laika was the Space-dog, wasn't she? No connection to Leica Camera AG BTW

 

[Ko.Fe.]

Laika is the dog breed. Лайка is how Leica is pronounced by German.
Заря is Zarya. Zorka is Зорька. Zarya and Zorka are the same in Russian.
PS: In Russia Zorka is cow name.

 

[Crazy Fedya]

Zorka in Russian is similar to gwiazdka in Polish. As in "pierwsza gwiazdka na niebie". Also, it means time just before sunrise, I think.

Zorka the mare.
When I was a child in Czechoslovakia in mid sixties our neighbours had a horse call Zorka. But only mare can be called Zorka it is feminine name.

 

[santino]

Ahhh thanks. So I'll Stick with zorka.far bettet than Nikon

 

[santino]

[Crazy Fedya]

Laika is husky.

"pierwsza gwiazdka na niebie" translate to english as 'the first star in the sky' so more as an sunset/evening I would put it.

"pierwsza gwiazdka na niebie" translate to english as 'the first star in the sky' so more as an sunset/evening I would put it.

I guess to say "первая зорька на небе" would be incorrect, yes?

HI,

Usually the planet Venus which most mistake for a very bright star and usually the first to be seen, even before sunset...
