from what I've read, "-ski" and "-sky" is more of an unofficial honoriffic than a "son of" designation. - Reagen Feb 6, 13:28 8
- And one version is catholic and the other is jewish. - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:30 7
  - I've never met any Jewish -skis or -skys, though anything's possible - Reagen Feb 6, 13:33 6
    - now they are skiy's -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 14:15
    - As I said I think I've confused that with -itz and -icz. -- nm - the liioulu with MBT Bulletin Feb 6, 13:35 4
      - -itz is the German ending, -icz is the Polish -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 13:38 3

  - I also see now that I misspelled Krzyzewski. - musubi Feb 6, 13:31 6
    - Wasn't familiar with basketball coaches' names, but seeing as googling it wouldn't have helped... - Facto Feb 6, 13:37 2
