Why is his name spelled variously both "Reljković" and "Relković"? Is the extra "j" some sort of modernization/hyper-ijekavization? --Joy [shallot]
- No, it's becaise surnames with -lk- are far less frequent than those with -ljk- (-lk- being a sort of Russian or Ukrainian form), so that people automatically wrote "Reljković". No conscious effort (unlike Spljet, Deonice, Bjelostjenac/Belostenec,..). Mir Harven 17:53, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
