If anyone has a precise, indisputable translation for either <gosti> or <okol'nichie> --- more power to her/him! I'm no closer to finding the right English terms today than I was when I first tried to do so in 1963-64, when I was a senior at Oberlin. d m g ps: neither of these terms is "18th ."--- they were on their last legs in Peter I's reign. >>>>>> Date: Fri, 11 Dec 1998 13:26:07 -0600 From: Anita Shelton <cfas@eiu.edu> Would someone tell me please the proper translation for the following early 18th c. vocabulary: gosti (as used in Peter the Great's 1701 decree on who must wear western dress) okol'nichie (as used in a 1706 decree on who must shave beards) Thank-you very much! Anita
