Russian-English Glossary 



This glossary contains the traditional dictionary-entry forms for all the words 

 used in the foregoing texts. Care has been taken to cite the most relevant meanings 

 for the words, but it will no doubt happen that a specialist may substitute more exact 

 terminology in a text dealing with his particular field. The author would appreciate 

 any suggestions for more exact renderings of particular Russian terms. 



In the glossary, the following grammatical information is available: 



Nouns 



Verbs 



Gender is indicated for the nouns only when the nominative singular form 

 ends in the soft sign(b^). Otherwise, singular nouns are 



masculine , if terminated by a consonant: 



neuter , if the final letter is the vowel -o_ or -e_ 



feminine , If the final letter is -a^ or -H 



The genitive singular form is cited for those nouns which have the added 

 vowel -o- or -e_- in th-3 nominative singular. 



The r?rd. singular form of the "present" is given in parentheses, when its 

 formation would not be obvious from inspection of the infinitive. 

 Aspect is indicated by explicit labelling of the perfective verbs. 



Prepositions 



The case or cases of nouns and adjectives associated with a preposition are 

 indicated in parentheses after the preposition. 



A word with no accent marking has the stress accent on the first syllable. 

 The letter e_ with two dots(e_) symbolizes the place of the accent. 

 An acute accent mark(') indicates the place of accent, when it is not so
