question regarding R, RCS, or OCS (?)

[Dean Worth]

Hi Jules,     Isn't "svjataja" neuter nom. or acc. plural long form? Dean


Quoting Jules Levin <ameliede at EARTHLINK.NET>:

> I occasionally worship in a synagogue that offers, optionally,
> a Russian-Hebrew bilingual prayer book in addition to the usual
> English-Hebrew or all Hebrew prayer books.
> I have noticed that a Hebrew phrase translated into English as
> Holy of Holies appears in the Russian as "svjataja svjatyx".   Trouble
> is, it appears this way in a sentence that requires the Locative,
> or possibly the Accusative:  "...vosstanovi v svjataja svjatyx... "
> The object of the Adj is masculine in Hebrew, but what word would it be
> in Russian, if fem.?  [I realize this is really another problem, but perhaps
> it is a clue....]
> Can someone elucidate here?
> If your only explanation is less than total competence in Russian, don't
> be shy; it is conceivable in this translation.
