Suceava

Suceava (Romanian pronunciation: [suˈt͡ʃe̯ava]) is the largest city and the seat of Suceava County, in the Bukovina region, in north-eastern Romania. The city was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia from 1388 to 1565.

Name and etymology

Moldavian chronicler Grigore Ureche presumed the name of the city came from the Hungarian Szűcsvár, which is combined of the words szűcs (furrier, skinner) and vár (castle). This was taken over by Dimitrie Cantemir, who in his work Descriptio Moldaviae gave the very same explanation of the origin of the city's name, however, there are neither historical nor vernacular evidences for this. According to another theory, the city bears the name of the river with the same name, that is supposed to be of Ukrainian origin.

In German, the city is known as Sotschen, in Hungarian as Szucsáva (pronounced [ˈsutʃaːvɒ]), in Polish as Suczawa, in Ukrainian as Сучава (pronounced [sut͡ʃawa]), while in Yiddish as שאָץ (pronounced [ʃɔts]).

History

For nearly 200 years the city of Suceava was the capital of the Principality of Moldavia and the main residence of the Moldavian princes (between 1388 and 1565). The city was the capital of the lands of Stephen the Great, one of the pivotal figures in Romanian history, who died in Suceava in 1504. During the rule of Alexandru Lăpuşneanu, the seat was moved to Iaşi in 1565 and Suceava failed to become the capital again. Michael the Brave captured the city in 1600 during the Moldavian Magnate Wars in an attempt to unite Wallachia, Moldavia and Transylvania, but he was defeated the same year.

    See Saw

    by: Graham Coxon

    See saw - up and down - around and round we go
    Too late - we're out on the brink
    Our love's in the sink - washed up
    And when I'm walking down a rainy street
    I think I hear you calling out to me
    But it's just an echo I've arranged to meet
    Free fall - we're out of control -
    We never will know what went wrong
    Too bad - what we had for a while
    Has gone out of style this year
    Your friends told me you moved out of town
    I got your address and I wrote it down
    I used the pen that you bought for my birthday
    And every stroke, you know, reminded me of you
    I realize that we'll never be together again
    Wait a while - reclaim your loss
    But it costs alot - you'll learn
    Take five - it heals in time
    You'll feel just fine - they say
    But I feel it
    See saw - in a way I'm glad
    Though I still feel sad about you
    I know it's too late for changing minds
    And I'm still not sure I want to change mine
    It's just a tiny part that says that this ain't right
    See saw - up and down - around and round
    They say it heals in time - they say you'll feel just
    fine
    In a way I'm glad -
    Though I still feel sad about losing you
