Girls’ (Women’s) names
endearing names (probably of loved ones), used for bagpipes
Some diminutive names (assigned by individual pipers to their Sac de gemecs), which still survive as regional names; NB¹: ➺ Catarineta, Caterineta, Margarideta, and Marieta; NB² (ws): I wouldn't be surprised when learning that there are more of such names, which I haven't encountered (yet), however, in the literature available to me; NB: Compare Hungary.
