So you are not supposed to greet someone over a doorstep? How else do you do it?

greet = shake hands, sorry, to me it's practically a synonym. Doesn't matter if you go out to greet them or wait until they're in, just don't do it over the doorstep.

No idea about the genesis of it as bad luck superstition, but it was either a fashionable influence from the outside that made more sense in context of parent culture or one of those old-Polish customs that MikoĊ‚aj Rej would think archaic. 50:50 with those things.
