Thread Name: BS: Lesviots against Lesbians
Subject: RE: BS: Lesviots against Lesbians
I appreciated that - I was just curious to know if Greek-speaking lesbians refer to each other as "lesviots" (assuming they don't actually come from Lesvos). I suppose it could cause misunderstanding, if they do.
That couldn't arise with the English word "Lesbian", since that isn't the Greek word for a resident of Lesbos, and never has been.
