images

The german and dutch versions have a nice graphic with the city and road details, Krk.jpg, but I'm too new at this to know how to import the graphic. WilliamAllenSimpson

Aha! Of course, should the image be translated to svg, maybe it could be uploaded to Commons, instead! WilliamAllenSimpson

How do you pronounce "Krk"?

I think we should add that to the article.--Steven X 09:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pronounce Krk

Hi, My Grandparents were from the Island of Krk. I was told my them it's pronounced Kirk. Needtoknow100 23:56, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake

Krk did not become part of Italy after WWI. Right after the end of WWI, the island main city (Krk or Veglia) voted for the union to Italy, however the island was given to the newly constituted SHS (later: Yugoslavia) in 1920. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.140.0.27 (talk) 14:20, 8 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the little people of Krk

I was listening to one of the Open Yale Courses (Evolution and Medicine (2015) with Stephen Stearns)this morning when the lecturer mentioned a family with Dwarfism on the island who were notable for their long lifespans. I did some research, and found a couple of reliable sources talking about this.

I also found enough non-RS sources mentioning it that I feel notability is satisfied. Does anyone who watches this page know about this, or have any thoughts on the matter of adding information about it? MjolnirPants Tell me all about it. 15:58, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Was the island named after the city or the city named after the island?

I visited Krk and the question of the name puzzled me. The landlord I was renting from was a native Krkian and didn't know that answer to the question but recommended a book on Krk that was in the apartment that I was renting.

Although a bit old (1978... it still speaks of Yugoslavia), it was helpful in that it gave information as to where the name of the island came from, i.e. its original inhabitants. Although this doesn't shut the case, it's likely that the city got it from the island being as the name seems associated with the island. However, the case would be shut if we knew what the name meant in the tongue of the original inhabitants. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VCRkid (talk • contribs) 20:16, 10 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Slavic Origin of the Word: Krk

Krk - the name comes from Old Slavonic and means a stone or mountainous place where life is not easy. Most likely, this word is even older Indo-European. Often in Slavic languages, the old Indo-European words were best preserved, thanks to the conservatism of the Slavic languages, for changes. And also because the Indo-European language originates from the Slavic areas of the Polish-Ukrainian borderland. We have Krk in Slavic words like Krkonose (Mountains between Poland and Czech Republic), Karpaty and e.g. in the word: kara - panishment. 95.115.1.228 (talk) 19:54, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Source? It's fun to speculate and false friends are a thing, but the etymology of Krk is from an older Latin (likely Illyrian) toponym of Curicum, predating the Slavs. Koora (talk) 18:20, 25 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
