AW: [SEELANGS] AW: [SEELANGS] "well-endowed"

[Gasan Gusejnov]

Sorry, I didn't get your point: I am afraid, neither Bunin nor Pushkin would
be helpful with the current Russian equivalent for "well-endowed" ;))

However, I'll do my best in order not to forget both wonderful authors.

Please don't forget about Bunin's  Legkoye Dihaniye.The  end of  this story.

And it is I think continues the conversation between Anatol and Dolokhov in 
W and P(vol.2,part 5): " Oni razobrali dostonstvo ee ruk,nog,plech i volos".
