Re-reading the prologue to /Jhegaala/, I became interested in what the
exact joke is to the name of the village, Burz.
A little digging online came up with the Hungarian word "bûz", which
roughly translates as "*stink, stench, odour, reek".
No wonder Vlad laughs when he hears the name for the first time.
Heh.
