Thread: Adjective formation

I was working on forming adjectives, and I was wondering if someone could take the word "мохноногий" and make adjectives for different body parts using the root of the word, so I can check my results. I figure I'll use a really strange and infrequently encountered word. Plus I like the meaning...and the fact that they managed to sneak it into the song "в лесу родилась елочка".

лохматый - hairy in general

мохноногий - hairy-legged

? - hair-armed

? - hairy-faced

? - hair-eared

? - hairy-butt

? - hairy-neck

? - hairy-chest

? - hairy-back

Thanks

Well, such words do not exist in Russian, but you create them:

? - hair-armed = мохнорукий

? - hairy-faced = ???

? - hair-eared = мохноухий

? - hairy-butt = мохножопый

? - hairy-neck = мохношейный

? - hairy-chest = мохногрудной

? - hairy-back = мохноспинный

But in real world we often use word растительность. Like "с лицевой растительностью" and "волосатый" - "волосатая грудь", "волосатая задница" и т.д.

hairy-nosed = мохноносый?

thanks!

Are these right:

hairy-spleen - мохноселезенкий?

hairy-jugular-vein - мохнояремная вена?

hairy-ventricle - мохножелудочкий?

hairy-sciatic-nerve - мохноседалищный нерв?

hairy-sigmoid-colon - мохносигмовидная ободочная кишка?

hairy-glossopharyngeal-nerve - мохноязыкоглоточный нерв?

hairy-vestibulocochlear-nerve - мохновестибулокохлеарный нерв?

мохноселезёночный

мохножелудочный

P.S. Just remembered that admiral from "Мэри Поппинс до свидания" movie who liked to say "лопни моя селезёнка"

I still can't quite grasp the whole forming adjectives from nouns thing...Anyone have any internet sites that might cover this?

? - hairy-chest = мохногрудной

мохногрудый

У Сайбота мохнатые мозги :P
