I can't help with Slavic, other than to say that the new medieval Polish 
cookbook has no recipes for stuffed cabbage.  There is a late period 
Spanish recipe, but it involves cutting a hole in a head of cabbage and 
stuffing *that*, rather than wrapping cabbage leaves around a filling.  Oh, 
and there's a recipe for stuffed gourds.  But most of the recipes I've seen 
for stuffed things seem to be for critters.  Fish.  Chicken.  Cow udders.
