Other uses of term
editIt seems to me that, in addition to the word's regular meaning the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada uses the term sobor to mean a large church serving a wide area that is not a cathedral. For example in Alberta they have St. John Cathedral and St. Andrew "Sobor" (both in Edmonton) and in Saskatchewan they have Holy Trinity Cathedral in Saskatoon and Descent Of The Holy Spirit "Sobor" in Regina (see: http://www.uocc.ca/en-ca/parishes/search.asp). Am I understanding this right? Do other orthdox churches use the term this way? --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 16:36, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
- This is an East Slavic/Russian term and may well be used by immigrants in Canada. - Altenmann >talk 18:30, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
Sobor, Hungary ?
edit@ShelfSkewed Hungarian is not a Slavic language (or even an Indo-European language) so is Sobor, Hungary an example of "a word in Slavic languages"? Looking in an on-language dictionary, there is a Hungarian word "sobor" which means "statue".

- You cannot delete links from pages of this type. But I deleted the reference to language. - Altenmann >talk 18:25, 17 May 2024 (UTC)
