NB, It should be noted that many given male-names (e.g., Mohammed) and even a (very) few given female-names are also

used as surnames (e.g., Khalid Sheikh Mohammed). Such names are indicated with asterisks.

Pronunciation for diacritical marks:

� - as 'ch' (as in church),

� - a lighter form of 'ch' (as in Chicago)

š, Õ - as in shore,

w - 'f' as in Father (indicates where 'v' is printed but oral convention in Russian dictates an 'f')

zh - as in ‘pleasure'
