yes, you'we got it right. We Croats are 90% Christian people, so long time ago people greet each other with "praised the Jesus and Maria", than they shortened it to "praised the Lord", and after some time it was only "Lord". And the Croatian name for God (Lord) is BOG so jung people now only say BOK (cause it sounds wery much alike), and the old ones still says BOG.
How interesting indeed this intercontinental corresponding is
Any more questions

Of course, I'll write ... as long as noone asks me anything about bike parts, I know very little in Croatian language, not to mention English. But, I know you'll explain averything to one ignorant like me BOK
