One more note on the Russian word for "cognate": I checked in two

Russian dictionaries of linguistic terminology -- one by Akhmanova and
the other by Maruzo (a Russian translation of a French dictionary by
Marouzeau), both quite old by now. Both contain English, French, and
German terms as well, and both have indices in those three languages.
Neither of them has an entry for the English "cognate", except that
Akhmanova refers the reader to the entry for "related languages." So
in other words, neither has an equivalent for the English word, not even
something like "slova odnogo knrnja".
