{ 20040708,0946 | Philip Newton } "Maybe "s"est'" (perfective of est'
"to eat") vs. "sestra" ("sister")? The former being sjest_j and the
latter being s_jestra, I believe."

Er... the latter is /sistra/ - the accent is on the final syllable.

Remember, speak Russian as if [ je ], [ o ] & [ a ] are to be crushed
under our iron shoes.
