Dear Mary and List:
Regarding bzdet', I have a small addition to the explosive
scholarly topic being explored. The verb is the engine of a little
joke that's made the rounds for awhile now: What Russian
phrase has ten (10) consonants in a row? Monstr vzbzdnul!
Apparently this monster was rather delicate about it.
Cheers,
Jerry Katsell
