<br>
The main characteristic is ^ sound (similar to Russian unstressed vowel |a|) in<br>
those places, where in the official spelling is letter o. In central<br>
Russia (in Volga<br>
river bassein) it is pronounced as clear o.<br>
Also, a lot of words are formed by derivation from known Russian roots but with<br>
different affixes (both prefixes and suffixes). Some of those you can<br>
figure youself by<br>
comparison between a lemma and a Russian gloss (cp. agarot and ogorod).<br>
Most of the forms occur in some Russian periferal dialects (Northern,<br>
Siberian, etc.)<br>
If you study books on Russian dialectology, you'll learn, from where<br>
each pattern<br>
is coming. I will not be surprized, if most of deviation from literary<br>
Russian comes<br>
from Siberia (Sibir'). The problem is that most of these books are in Russian.<br>
<br>
So far I looked only first two letters in the dictionary. If I notice<br>
something more<br>
substantial, I'll let you know.<br>
