| 1070.4 | Anyone with a big Russian dictionary? | TLE::JBISHOP | | Fri Oct 29 1993 07:05 | 6 |
| Is SLACHCO pronounced /slaCko/, with /C/ like 'ch' in 'which',
or /slaCtso/ or /slaSCo/ with /S/ like 'sh' in 'wish'?
I couldn't find any likely candidates in my little Russian
dictionary.

| Best I could find in a big (4 inches thick) Russian-English /
English-Russian dictionary at the local public library is
/slaSCye/ (using the conventions of .4) which means "sweeter",
so that the whole phrase would mean "that's sweeter".
Please tell us the real answer if you find it!

John,
Thanks very much - I may end up having to share some of the guinness
with you. I was back on to the person in question. They said it is
pronounced as:
skel-acho yeeto
If anyone has any ideas I'd be grateful.
Thanks,
Conor.
