More Russian -> English
Yet another case of mistranslation from Russian to English is the
species name of _Maleevosaurus novojilovi_. It should be
_novoZHilovi_ (the "zh" pronounced like the "s" in measure), because
the "j" is too harsh, and the sound for "j" is spelled in Russian as
'd"zh"', not just "zh". Incidentaly, the letter for "zh" looks like a fancy
"x" with a verticle line through it. To George Olshevsky: what are the
second vowels in Maleev, in Russian?
