jRosemary-thank you! I can join church sevices to seldom.
alcto, rusmeister and the rest of you- I will not interfere into your discussion of dogma. It was impoertant for me to assurer, how everyone of you is defining dogma- i understand now and I see, that your arguments follow consequently and logically the given definitions.
I easily get confused in a debate, when I feel, that arguments and basic ideas are not concordant (right term?)

OK, it seems like if I cut and paste existing kyrilitsy (друг) I get it. But how do we get the Russian alphabet in the first place? Are you (Rus) typing on a Russian keyboard?
Now to go after the easier subject for awhile. I always used to figure that друг in Russian was part of the phrase "other self". Later, I began to think it might be lifted out of the Scripture (Ljubite drug druga). My Old Slavonic teacher used to wonder whether the use of the genitive ending for the accusative of "male" nouns in Old Slavonic was an effect of some Greek words that have an -a accusative ending (a hypothesis I don't agree with, by the way.)
