Blue light bandits
Blue light bandits, also known as blue light gangs, blue light criminals and blue light hijackers, are criminal groups operating in South Africa who impersonate police officers or other law enforcement officials to commit various crimes. These crimes primarily include robbery, carjacking, kidnapping, and other violent acts, often targeting motorists and sometimes tourists. The descriptions refer to multiple unrelated criminal syndicates employing similar tactics, with significant activity reported in provinces such as Gauteng, Mpumalanga, and increasingly in the Western Cape. The gangs typically use vehicles fitted with unauthorized blue flashing lights to simulate an official police presence and induce victims to stop. This criminal phenomenon has been documented in South Africa since at least 2010.

Proto-Slavic borrowings
Numerous lexemes that are reconstructable for Proto-Slavic have been identified as borrowings from the languages of various tribes that Proto-Slavic speakers interacted with in either prehistoric times or during their expansion when they first appeared in history in the sixth century (the Common Slavic period). Most of the loanwords come from Germanic languages, with other contributors being Iranian, Celtic, and Turkic. Slavic loanwords sparked numerous debates in the 20th century, some of which persist today.

Linguists Max Vasmer and Oleg Trubachyov compiled and published academic dictionaries on Slavic languages that are used worldwide in academia and are considered the most accurate sources for Slavic etymology. Another etymological dictionary written by G.P. Cyganenko takes a more modern look at the theories presented by Vasmer and others, and mostly explains origins for words that are most common and is not as extensive as the works of Vasmer or Trubachev.

Max Vasmer
Max Julius Friedrich Vasmer (German: [ˈfasmɐ], Russian: ['fasmʲer]; Russian: Максимилиан Романович Фасмер, romanized: Maksimilian Romanovich Fasmer; 28 February 1886 – 30 November 1962) was a Russian and German linguist. He studied problems of etymology in Indo-European, Finno-Ugric and Turkic languages and worked on the history of Slavic, Baltic, Iranian, and Finno-Ugric peoples.
