archaic religious phrase (cont.)

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues:

In case no one already mentioned it, let me  toss in also a parallel with the Latin "sancta 
sanctorum" ("holy of holies"), which is also neuter plural. --Steven P Hill, Univ. of Illinois.

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
