marzka ☁️

marzka is pronounced /ˈmaʂka/ (ipa) ─ that’s like “mashka” if ipa is nonsense to you.

it’s a diminutive (basically, cute) form of my proper name which is itself, for me at least, derived from marzanna, a polish deity.

marzanna is associated with death and rebirth, especially the cyclical rebirth of winter into spring. she’s also associated with dreams.
