GREECE

''Names of many Greek dances may be found spelt either ending with -o or with '''-os'''. This is due to the fact that the word for "dance" in Greek is a masculine noun, while the dance itself can also be referred to by a neuter Adjective used Substantively . Thus one may find both "hasapiko" ("the butcher thing") and "hasapikos (horos)" - "the butcher (dance)."
