Throbert, excellent post. You know more about the etymology of English and Russian words than I do - I didn't know that the connection between altar and altus was false.
I don't think Sibiryak is trolling - that would be a lot of effort to put into a troll post, and either way, I've met plenty of Russians in Russia who legitimately believe in this kind of thing.
