Grad is not town. Grad is hail.

It’s a mistake to say that the Grad is from “gorod” town. It’s a hail in Russian 2603:7080:4A3D:82AC:3D2E:B2B8:D48A:5651 (talk) 13:55, 30 March 2022 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, but it also means "town" or "city" in every South Slavic language (from Proto-Slavic gordъ). It can also mean "hail" in these languages, but in that case it is differently accentuated. The article is about toponymic word, not about meaning of the word in modern Russian. 188.2.21.65 (talk) 13:37, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply
