And there has been discussion of the Russian concept of "soul" LONG ago on
the xlchc -- before MY time, even. Perhaps it is now time for a renaissance
of "soul" in American English with new and more Russian meanings (see
Mike's clip)
It is interesting that the problem also works in reverse, that Tatiana is
having problems translating "mind" into Russian. Sorry I cannot help, but
there should be others around here who can.
