are you kiddin pal
it is both punctological & cockabebble in the extreme
& better silly than sorry
for i dont know russko & can scarcely even transliterate it maybe
but had imagined the o of nagorno was just the normal russo inflection
corresponding to anglo nethero yanko or barbaro in our languages
& that the inflection skaya on karabakh is what actually governed the use
of this rare adverbial adjectival o conjugation
gonzo for grammar
