Caş → Caș – The corect spelling is with a ș(S-comma) and not a ş(S-cedilla). That used to be a problem with systems pre Windows XP. Not anymore. Ableci (talk) 19:32, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

The answer is in the two articles linked in my request: s-comma vs s-cedilla. AjaxSmack has given an extended answer with more examples. S-cedilla is an incorrect sign. When the Turks have done their language reform under Ataturk, they have used the S-comma for the same sound, but decided to go for the cedilla as it would facilitate the production of metal movable type. Now the Turkic languages do go for S-cedilla. Romania never changed the system, but that lead to an unfortunate mix when DTP got into use. Sometimes you have the strange combination of t-comma ț and s-cedilla in the same publication. Ableci (talk) 09:13, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

• Support. The use of s-cedilla (ş) instead of the s-comma (ș) was due to technical limitations (see S-comma article for details). Now that those no longer exist, move to the correct spelling. Similar moves (here, here and here, for example) have already been discussed and conducted. Many other major articles with the s-comma have been moved as well (e.g. Călușari, Deșteaptă-te, române!, Nicolae Ceaușescu). —  AjaxSmack  14:52, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Merge caș into Curd

Caș is the Romanian name for Curd and not a particular cheese. I propose the merger of the two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ableci (talk • contribs) 20:48, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

• Answer: If source is an issue, than this stub should be ready for quick deletion. I can't seem to find anything like The Guardian. But some articles:

cas (with the s pronounced sh) which usually has just a little salt or none. This is very fresh, you can find it in the markets only during the summer [1]

A very fresh curd cheese using made in the evening and left overnight to curdle and lightly salted. It has a smooth almost 'squeaky' texture. It's often eaten for breakfast with eggs, shredded into salad, or used in pies (it can be sweetened). [2]

[3] Here you have a video with the making process.

If it's a curd cheese, it could be the same as curd cheese, i.e. quark (dairy product). --Off-shell (talk) 07:30, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

As noted by Off-shell and Ableci, caș is a fresh cheese, like quark and others. Most of these cheese have very short articles of their own, so I have added a couple of references (books) to the article and removed the merge tag. Leschnei (talk) 14:07, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
