Library

 

 

floor, overlap, the floor

bottom of the sea, to lay floor,

to take over, to place in blind alley

 

to destroy a story a floor,

to compose history

to spread the rumors

 

sound amplifier the distance of shot

sound of explosive to multiply

twisted plant

mountain climber the careerist

 

increase a mirage the knitting

machine the shadow

 

humbled submissiveness

disgrace, to dishonor

hammer of judge and, etc.

 

to direct a ship

attraction 

accuracy the severity

 

working wheel

whale's mustache

docent the circle of the readers

 

eraser

extreme to, towards

 

to make notes

a bundle of ballerina

 

official letter

imitating. 

 

 

 

 

Ballerina

 

 

gymnast gynecology

rotatory

revolving muscle

 

to revolve in circle

the revolving door

 

vortex the whirlpool

part the division divided

into the cantons grant

record village the settlement

 

colony the siege park

lovely sight to rot

 

malfunction a failure

rotatory

to revolve in spiral

propeller impregnated with camphor.

 

 

 

 

USSR

 

 

aegean sea

aigrette

carefully conduct oneself

 

frame of bed

the frame of the broken vessel

 

to eat till full to take back

words.  brauning.

to take for doubt.

 

to charge to supply with water

to run away the convinced unmarried

giving a vow of celibacy

 

give time to think

digest daguerreotype

even if long time ago

 

concealed unexpressed

nonappearance to the work

inexpressive face

 

sour cabbage the roof

coating of the road

 

covered with hoarfrost

treelike fern

dresden porcelain

 

safety wiring

sowing grain

cotyledon

 

finder a small farmer

selector wooden mallet

cap on the chimney stack.
