Thread: Tough word to find any sensible meaning for бугръ

Really brilliant folks on this forum have been giving me meaning/context/stories, helping me to understand why I cannot find these words in dictionaries, even on-line.

This word бугръ stumps me.

Thanks

бугръ. Hmm, are you sure it was written exactly like it? I suspect it might have been бугры. If it was indeed бугръ, then you came across a word from before the Russian revolution in 1917. In those days they added ъ to any word that ended with a hard consonant.

Anyway, whatever that was I presume the word means бугор, which is a hillock or anything small protruding from an even surface of something, like a lump on somebody's skin for example.

This is a tough one
Spelling бугръ means that word is not from modern Russian because such spelling was used before the Russian language reform of 1918 -

Code:

бугръ theoretically could be Old Slavonic of бугор which means a hillock or a hump
If you could give me a context I might be able to give you a better explanation
