See, that just shows to go that Translating Software isn’t Absolute!
Sorry . . . just my experience reading Cyrillic pages. I remember being surprised that “Manhattan” was transliterated “Манхэттен” (or “Mankhetten”); seemed counterintuitive.
No problem.
They have some letters that stand for four consonants, like “Shchi”.
So I guess there’s some “Viggle Room”. :-)
