narodow

Narodow, with diacritics removed from the Polish naródów, is the genitive plural form of the noun naród, meaning “nation.” In Polish grammar naród refers to a people or political community, and narodów is used to express possession or relation to nations, as in praw a narodów (the rights of nations) or mniejszości narodowe (national minorities). The related adjective narodowy, with its forms narodo wy–, means “national” and appears in compounds such as polityka narodowa (national policy) or tożsamość narodowa (national identity).

Usage and context: naród and its inflected forms are common in historical, political, and legal texts that discuss national identity, self-determination, or international relations. The genitive plural naródów is a standard grammatical form used whenever a noun is described as belonging to or relating to multiple nations. In ordinary prose, naródów may appear in phrases describing the rights, duties, or actions of nations rather than as a standalone concept.

Notes on the term Narodow: as a word by itself, Narodow is not a widely recognized proper name in Polish. It is typically encountered only as the diacritics-stripped form naródów within texts, or as part of a longer phrase. If used as a title or organizational name, it is likely a stylization or abbreviation rather than a distinct, widely acknowledged entity.
