>>>>>>>sagovornik - go-between

>>>>>>Nope, that's the "potrcko" (the runabout, literally) or "posrednik" (middleman). Sagovornik is interlocutor in English - but nobody uses that word; I haven't heard it ever, just found it when I was checking. Sa=with, govoriti=speak, so, co-speaker, partner in conversation. Two people who talk are sagovornik to each other.

>>>Well I don't know. An interlocutor, to me, is someone who speaks to both parties, on their behalf(s). From the latin "to speak between" afaik.

>>No. It's just a person who takes part in a conversation. The old minstrel shows used to have a guy in the minstrel chorus line who sort of led the conversation. He would ask questions of the others, and they would reply with the joke. He was the interlocutor. I think he was usually the guy in the middle of the line.

Could be. I'm only familiar with the original series. It became to sophisticated and took itself too seriously after Kirk and crew were replaced.
