Thread: Is this right?

Кириил

У Кирилла болят руки.

Is this correct? Кириил is obviously a girl but her name ends in masculine letter so when I put it in the (acc/gen) case what is it?

and also what about this.

Василий Павлович

У ______________ болит спина.

Кирилл is not a girl, it's a boy.
Like Кирилл и Мефодий, who (supposedly) made the cyrillic alphabet.

У Василия Павловича болит спина.

True, they made the glagolitic alphabit. Cyrillic was a simplification of Glagolitic 70 or so years after Cyrill died.

If you have a foreign woman with a name ending in a consonant, it is indeclinable, I think:

Say... June

дом Джун
Я люблю Джун
