Two more Bazhov questions

Hello,

I wish to stress how much I praise the simple fact that list members ask questions to the list for which they cannot 
find the answer for some reasons of their own.

More frequently than not it gives food for thought.
Questions such as Robert's (wich I praise very much) venture also in areas to which I am not necessarily familiar 
with or even generally interested in.

That should be the philosophy of such a list, to let list members help each others and to broaden their knowkledge 
of the Russian-speaking world and of the Russian culture.

Thanks Robert for asking, and all those ho reply more often than I do.

"Honni soit qui mal y pense...", if you allow me that British moto.

Philippe

My apologies to everyone.  Often I look up even the very simplest of words in dictionaries, just in case they have a meaning I am not aware of.  I have no idea why I did not do that in this case.

Also: my thanks to Mr Cleminson and Paul Gallagher for telling me about "сколько мест багажа", which I was not familiar with.

All the best,

Robert
