Any Russian words spelled like English words???
Since some of the russian alphabet letters have the same "look" as English letters (although some letters have a different sound!) ... for "trivia" or "just for fun" purposes, do you know of any words in Russian (using Russian letters), where those same letters make a word using English letters?
Thanks,

Russian words that look like English words!
OK, here's what I have so far of Russian words (using the English looking alphabet letters only) that are also English words:
МОРЕ. НОВО. РОЕТ. СОСКУ. HOPE, BOP, HOP
Can anyone think of any other words???
Thanks!
I can't believe that I actually did this:
Well, using the Internet anagram server, excel and some internet translators (not to mention far too much of my time) I've got this list:
In English alphabetical order:
AC, ACE, ACT, BATT, BATTY, BAM, BATE, BEEP, BET, BETA, BOB, BOCK, BOT, CAM, CO, COB, COKE, COM, COP, HAP, HE, HEM, HO, HOB, HOC, HOT, MAKE, POE, POEM, POKE, POKY, POT, TAPE, TETE, TOKE, TOM, TOP, TOPE, TYPE, TYPY.
Notes:
1) This only covers word which appear in anagrams of AKOMTBCEPHYXAKOMTBCEPHYX in English (i.e. letters may only be used twice and some words are possibly ommited from consideration)
2) I didn't include KATE, since it is a proper name in both languages (the dative case in Russian of Катя)
3) This list considers Е and Ё as the same letter (e.g. Tете is actually Тёте - dative case of Тётя - aunt. There may be other examples in the list)
Still, I think this is enough to keep you going for the moment! :D
