Kaba gajda (f)
(with) definite article: Kabata gajdaoriginal: каба(та) гайда
names of bagpipes (&c.) in connection with their pitch only
Term used only to distinguish the instrument from other types; Le Gonidec interprets Turkish "kaba" [common, rough, puffy, & (archaic): mighty] oddly with "beautiful, grand, stately"; = Gajda (Rhodope mountains); NB¹: I wonder if there is a link between the Bulgarian adjective and Turkish "kaba" as in "kaba post" [rough sheepskin]; NB²: ➺ Gaitilla.
