Here are two more recalcitrant examples:
2> Vo sne on videl tsvetushchie vishni i bol'shikh, s" [sic.] vorob'ia,
MONASTYRSKIKH MUKH. [In Zolotova's 1988 _Sintaksicheskii slovar'_, citing
"Vs. Ivanov" (no further citation)]
3> Podliubovavshis' na period nyneshnego goda, kotoryi byl neobyknovenno
khorosh,--rannie teliata byli S MUZHITSKUIU KOROVU ... Levin velel vynesti
im ... Koryto [< an article by Saikiev, citing only "L. Tolstoi"]
I have tried, so far in vain, to determine what _monastyrskaia mukha_ and
_muzhitskaia korova_ mean, by looking in several dictionaries under both the
adjective part and the noun part. Any assistance any of you can provide
would be greatly appreciated. --Loren Billings (billings at princeton.edu)
