> Anyone remember Dennis Ward’s “Starting Russian”? It had a passage on

> Scots maintains the spelling “capercailzie”****

> The Irish form is borrowed from Scottish Gaelic.****

> I still remember being surprised at the passage in Genevra Gerhart:  “And

> Lorenz’s Jagdwörterbuch Russisch-Deutsch has one on the front cover****

> Fascinating Robert.  I have never been a frequent user of either the word
> glukhar' or capercaille, but I made the association between 'caillie' and
> 'cailleach' (Irish Gaelic for witch) and not 'coille' (forest) and presumed
> that both the Russian and anglicised Gaelic words must have referred to a
> horrible sound the bird possibly makes.  I would never have associated
> caper with 'capall' (modern Irish Gaelic for horse), though.
> Does the word glukhar' have any positive or negative associations in
> Russian?  To me as a non-native speaker, it seems negative, but a music
> venue has chosen it as its name ...
