Notes
- From the Latin compar (Trapp, Lexikon zur Byzantinischen Gräzität s.v.).
The word was reborrowed into Modern Greek from Venetian compare askoumpa/ros , "compadre" (i.e. godparent of my child, Mediaeval English "godsib") (web address 1) (Kriaras,*leciko\ th=s mesaiwnikh/s e(llhnikh/s dhmw/dous grammatei/as s.v.) DuCagne's 1688 dictionary of vernacular Greek cites the latter asko/mparos .
