The purpose of this dictionary is to simplify ftl much as possible and
not to burden the reader with rules and exceptions of grammar,
syntax, different word meanings and pronunciation. ; r, a
remark about the transliteration i^ nt\ Generally the con-
tinental pronunciation of Roman spelling v. in order to con-
vey the sounds of words belonging t< .ties with non-Latin
Alphabets. Only for Russian the sound of the letter X which is
guttural, like ch in the name of the composer Bach, kh was adopted
as commonly used. Stress always the accented letter in Russian and
the apostrophized syllable in Greek.
