Nikollë TESLA 1880
Me veshje shqiptare??
Ndër disa elementeve të tjera, sllevrit e jugut përvetësuan edhe pjesë të veshjeve autoktone, si opingat dhe tirqet.
Por kto të fundit, asnjëher deri më tash nuk i kam hasur tek ta me shkrola ose qepje të ndërlikuara, që janë tipar tërësisht iliro-shqiptar.
A thuo të ketë pasun të arbanesh gjak ndër deljët e tijnaj? Sido që të jetë kjon, na gjëtmë kta..
«His father, Milutin Tesla, was a priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Milutin was born on 19 February 1819 in the village of Meduc, county Medak in Lika, Croatia, as son of Nikola Tesla (b. 1789 in the military frontier, settled after his service in the Napoleonic Wars in Gospic in 1815) and Ana Kalinic, from the famous frontier Kalinic family. Tesla's family asserted its last name as such in Lika. His paternal origin is thought to be of the Draganic family from the Tara valley area below the geographical entity known as Old Vlach, from one of the local Serb clans; however genealogical research shows that Nikola is from the Herzegovinian noble Komnenovic (modern-day Old Herzegovina in
Montenegro), from its Orlovic subgroup that traces its origin from the 'semi-mythic' Pavle Orlovic that bore Prince Lazar's banner at the Battle of Kosovo in 1389. -- Nikola Tesla's mother was Djuka Mandic, herself a daughter of a Serbian Orthodox Church priest. She came from a family domiciled in Lika and Banija, but
with deeper origins to Kosovo. She was talented in making home craft tools. Tesla’s surname dates back more than two and half centuries. Before that time the family name was Draganic. The name Tesla, in a pure literal sense, is a trade name like Smith, Wright or Carpenter. As a common noun it describes a woodworking tool, an ‘adz’, an axe with a broad cutting blade at right angles to the handle - in serbocroatian the name of the tool is ‘tesla’. There is a tradition in the Draganic family that the members of one branch were given the nickname ‘Tesla’ because of an inherited trait which caused pratically all of them to have very large, broad and protruding front teeth which greatly resembled the triangular blade of the adz. The majority of Tesla’s ancestors for whom age records are available lived well beyond the average span of life for their times, but no definite record has been found of the ancestor who, Tesla claimed, lived to be one hundred and forty years of age».
