- Close but not quite right.
-
- Actually, the backwards looking "R" doesn't sound like an "R" at all in
- Russian; instead it is pronounced something like "Yo" (Y in Yellow and
- the short O in stOp). I can't remember for sure but I thought it sounded
- very much like "yesy" in German. The correct letter to put there is a
- "P", yes a Russian "P" sounds like an English "R", only they trill theirs.
-
- The backwards "R" (for lack of a better term) is the last letter in the
- conventional ordering of the Cyrillic alphabet -- and it's Ya. "yo" is the
- E with the umlaut over it.
-
- (I know what Rush would say to that - "That's something that only a
- commie liberal traitor would know.")
-
- It's hilarious, anyway -- it's not even Russian. There is no word spelled
- "komrad" in Russian that I've ever seen -- and "comrade" is more usually
- spelled "tovarishch" (with that last "shch" represented by *one* Cyrillic
- letter). I got a BA in Russian Studies 16 years ago, and *I* can remember
- that much of the language -- Steve's just foaming at the mouth again, as
- usual...
