Gaida / Gaïda

Gajda

Apparently obsoilete spellings; According to Marcuse a Polish bagpipe, dubiously referring to Sachs (Handbuch) as her source (in which it is not mentioned); Podnos dubiously refers to Sachs’ »Geist und Werden…« instead, but the name doesn’t occur in that book either; NB: ➺ homonyms / homophones.
