Hani of Kamber Aga

edit

The original author of this article wrote in the introduction "The battle began when the Greek army attacked the Ottoman defensive line at the Hani of Kamber Aga."

I would ask @Catlemur: to clarify what "Hani" means. The Kamber Aga is an old stone bridge, but for the life of me I can't find a geographic reference to "Hani of Kamber Aga" or the definition of "Hani" in English or Greek or anywhere on the Internet. It is frustrating when someone uses an obscure term that defies easy definition.

The term "Hani" was originally used in the article four times. Later another editor changed three of the four "Hani" to "Caravanserai" and changed two of three references of "Kamber Aga" to "Kamber Agha." So I would ask @Cplakidas: to clarify. Does "Hani" mean "Caravanserai"? Should all four references to "Hani" be changed to "Caravanserai"? Also, is "Kamber Aga" different from "Kamber Agha"? Should all three references be changed to "Kamber Agha"? Normally I make such changes myself after I find a basis.

With regard to this fairly short and simple article, however, I am confused. Your help and/or edits if appropriate would be appreciated.

Hani is an old Greek term for roadside inn which can probably be translated to caravanserai. I don't know if its simply a place name (if the inn has since been demolished) or a geographic feature of the battlefield. So I did not try and translate the term.--Catlemur (talk) 07:58, 25 April 2021 (UTC)Reply
