Poland and Russia

[edit]

I don't think this concept is Poland/Russia specific; consider the idea that vampires/evil spirits cannot come through the threshold unless invited, and its variants, often found in urban fantasy/horror and similar stories. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk to me 17:42, 15 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology?

[edit]

Is the etymology really unknown? I had always figured it was from the lip ("hold") at the edge of a threshing floor. Is it not? —Ben FrantzDale (talk) 13:24, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

origin 'hold'

[edit]

in german the word 'wood' is written as 'holtz'. if the tresh area is surrounded by bars of wood the grain partly will bounce on this low barrier and will stay inside the "barred" part. this greek floor has an leveled edge aswell https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorsen#/media/Bestand:Threshing_place,_Santorini,_Greece.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.149.83.125 (talk) 02:11, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
