It's not supposed to mean anything, the plant is chosen for reasons of rhyme. 'Hop, hop ş-aşa' is an interjection used in traditional dances, usually accompanied by a jump or feet tapping on the ground. It literally means 'hop, hop and so'.<ul> <li><span class='noteheading'><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hora" title="Look for Hora on wikipedia.org" target='_blank'>Hora</a></span> - traditional Romanian folk dance that gathers everyone into a big closed circle. The dancers hold each other's hands and the circle spins, usually clockwise, as each participant follows a sequence of three steps forward and one step back.</li></ul> </div> </div> <table id='footer' style='width: 100%; border-top: dotted 1px #000000;'> <tr><td width='50px'></td> <td width='100%'><p>If you spot any errors on this page, please don't hesitate to <a title='Contact' href='/?contact.2009md11'>tell us</a>.
