On this page external link "FIUMICELLO", in the rightmost column, 3rd paragraph down, what is the meaning of the fourth word "buinis"? It's my surname! (It's Lithuanian.)

Thanks!

That's dialect, I'm sorry not to be helpful but I have no idea about the meaning.

Hi lwayne and welcome.

If I'm not wrong this is a dialect from a northern area of Italy (Friuli). It is very different from "official" italian: I could barely understand the context. Let's see if any forero speaks "friulano"...

Hi lwayne,

that buinis is dialect for buoni, in English "good". The root is Latin (bonus), it might have something to do with your surname, but who can tell for sure!
