Name
[edit]The toponym has two possible derivations.[5] The first originated from the placename Kalari, itself from the surname Kalaris through a morphological transformation stemming from the Aromanian word călár 'horseman', and is combined with the suffix -itis.[5] The second arose from the Aromanian toponym Călár and the Aromanian suffix of Greek origin -it.[5]
The linguists Konstantinos Nikolaidis (1909) and Tache Papahagi (1974) derived the word călár from the Latin caballarius.[5] The linguist Kostas Oikonomou wrote that the word is more likely derived from the Aromanian cal 'horse' and the profession-denoting suffix -ar found in other Aromanian words reflecting livestock professions.[5] Oikonomou also stated that a connection between Kalarrytes and the toponym Kalavryta, or the linking of both names to the Slavic word kolovьrtъ 'spinning wheel', as proposed by the linguist Phaedon Malingoudis, is less likely.[5] In Greek, other variations of the toponym include Kalarrytai (-es), Kalarriti, and Kalaryta.[5]
Climate
[edit]Kalarrytes has a temperate oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification: Cfb), bordering on a warm-summer mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification: Csb). Kalarites experiences cool, rainy winters and warm, drier summers.
