This is actually an important word for Slovenes, and there is even a restaurant in Ljubljana's Old Town that goes by this name. The Protestant leader Primož Trubar's Abecedarium (an ABC book to teach people how to read) was one of the first two books printed in Slovene, in 1550. The restaurant is located in a building ("the oldest house in Ljubljana") where Trubar once lived.
