So, is "vraka" like "pant" (referring to one leg of the breeches)? If not, how to "vraka" and the plural (whatever it is) differ? Does "vraka" mean "one pair", as in "he was wearing [a] vraka", while the plural is if more than one pair is present, as in "he bought two shirts and three ___"? - -sche (discuss) 22:35, 13 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

I've put a bunch of citations here. Note that Google wouldn't let me see any of the actual snippets to determine if they italicised the word or not. - -sche (discuss) 22:53, 13 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
Thanks — now I'm even more confused! Where did (deprecated template usage) vraki come from? —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 01:36, 14 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
I think that - and should check - colloquially vraki (βρακί - singular) are briefs or underpants and (probably in the plural βρακία) the lower garments collectively. — Saltmarshαπάντηση 06:41, 14 November 2012 (UTC)Reply
