Girls’ (Women’s) names
endearing names (probably of loved ones), used for bagpipes
According to Paksa, who mentions 3 examples (Bözsi, Kati, and Mariska), "such names are often used in jest, because lately [i.e. late 20th century; ws] all Hungarian bagpipes are made with a wench's head"; NB: Compare Catalunya [Spain].
