Hi.
There is a story by Turgenev called "Касьян с Красивой Мечи", Kassyan of Fair Springs. I can't find this word меч or мечи in any dictionary, in book form or on-line. They all say меч means a sword. Can anyone explain?
Thank you.
меч = spring (of water) ?
Re: меч = spring (of water) ?
To try and answer my own question
It seems that Красивая Меча is the name of a river ( https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D1 ... 1%87%D0%B0 )
So perhaps it is best to regard Меча as a proper name, of unknown meaning as many names are, though there are unconvincing stories connecting it with a legendary sword.
Other better informed contributions are still welcome!
