gaidar="the leader"

Timur Gaidar is bullshitting. It is Arabic for "brave" and as such it is one of poetic names for "lion", hence wide distribution of this name (variants) in Cenral Asia ant other arab-affected cultures. Unfortunately I don't know any sources saying that. Staszek Lem (talk) 20:30, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
