Ru ssian and English Correspondences 



Scientific terminology is much the same for both Russian and English, since 

 scientists in both countries use Greek and Latin elements in the formation of new terms, 

 while such terms coined elsewhere are usually adopted in both countries. There is a 

 small number of scientific terms based on Russian roots, e.g. 



'hydrogen" 



BOfl-a "water" + pOfl "orip;in" 



BOflOpOJl 



but the overwhelming mass of special terms for scientific phenomena will be recogniz- 

 able to the American scientist as soon as he acquires some facility in reading Russian 

 letters. 



Russian, however, accotnmodates some letters from Greek and Latin bases in 

 a manner slightly different than the English practice; the result is a superficial differ- 

 ence and one which can be taken care of by a brief consideration of the Russian and Eng- 

 lish treatment of certain letters.
