Usage notes

  • Sense 2 also pertains to the "matica", a cultural organization with national or regional names in Slavic-language-speaking countries, especially in the Balkans. In Serbo-Croatian, this is usually expressed with матица / matica, however this may also be used in Pannonian Rusyn, especially regarding the Матица сербска (Matica serbska, Serbian matica). The Rusyn matica, however, is almost always referred to as the Руска матка (Ruska matka).
