winter

zöva : winter

The Tarijan word for winter is zöva. Zova is an uncommon last name.

In other languages:
In Croatian and Serbian zova translates to elder.

International locations:

How I came up with this word:
Zöva is a mixture of the transliterated word for winter in Russian which is zima (зима), and the transliterated word for winter in Mongolian which is övöl (өвөл).
