transnitria 

Transnistria is historical Romanian land now part of the Republic of Moldova that is occupied by the Russian authorities of the Pridestrovian Moldavian Republic. Transnistria is notable for its numerous human rights violations against Romanians and Moldovans in the region, such as systematically closing schools teaching Romanian or beating and jailing people that speaks Romanian in the streets. And still, the authorities of this artificial state claim to be the victims of Moldovan nationalists.

Transnotariat 

Transnotariat is an emerging concept in the field of transnational law that refers to the evolution of the role and functions of notaries in the face of globalization and the increasing transnationality of legal relations. The Transnotariat represents the adaptation of traditional notarial practices to the needs of an interconnected world, promoting legal security beyond national borders. It includes the harmonization of global notarial practices and facilitates the international recognition of notarial acts, enhancing trust and international cooperation, and contributing to a more integrated and reliable global legal environment.
To analyze the etymology, we can break down the word into two parts: "trans-" and "notariat."
Trans-: This prefix is derived from Latin, where it means "across," "beyond," or "through." It is commonly used in English to indicate movement or location across something (e.g., transcontinental, translate, transatlantic).

Notariat: This part of the word refers to the domain or office of a notary, originating from the Latin "notarius," meaning "clerk" or "secretary." The term notary itself comes from the Latin "notarius," which denotes a person authorized to draw up official or legal documents.
So, putting it together, "Transnotariat" would literally mean something akin to "beyond or across notaries" or "transnational notary practices."
The rise of global commerce and the increased mobility of people and assets have necessitated the development the transnotariat systems, that ensures notarial services are recognized and effective across international borders
A toe rag was originally a foot wrapping used, since mediaeval times up until the mid-nineteenth century, to protect the foot from chafing by boots or shoes. As these were, quite literally, rags they weren’t usually washed, and so with use they became very smelly until they were thrown away. Because of the similarity in smell, toe rag also became the name applied to dried, salted cod or other things with a strong, unpleasant, fishy smell. It didn’t take that long before the name was applied to someone who was an obnoxious, unpleasant OIC.
1 “Socks! Those aren’t socks you smelly git, they’re toe rags!”
2 “What have you been cooking? Smells like toe rag!”
3 “I can smell ‘er fanny from ‘ere, proper toe rag.”
4 That Heale Malcolm is a right toe rag.
