@liaizon russian wikipedia says that it's from greek 'melos' - 'singing' and 'mania' - well, 'mania' :)
@technomancy I have no idea how far spread the pronunciation is of this word but the person I met last night pronounced it exactly like milkman with a russian accent |
the #Russian word for 'music lover' is 'ΠΌΠ΅Π»ΠΎΠΌΠ°Π½'
