I do understand the word... :dunno:
Dosn't he mean a not o when pronounced?
Hm, it might be. But it is still looking loose without proper explanation.
1. Usually we write книгочей (stress книгочЕй) but we say "knigachei" (also stress книгочЕй).Quote:

вертолёт = вертеть (to rotate) + о (connecting vowel) + лететь (to fly) = helicopter
you are welcome
is the e in книгочей pronounced ё? Same with лицедей?
Nope, plain e (not ё) in both casesQuote:

2. And there are other compound words resembling “книгочей” in this rule, eg. "самолёт" and "вертолёт". That's why I was writing about them. I believe that you can see the resemblence:
(i)"самолёт" derives from "сам + о (connecting vowel) + лететь".
We write "самолёт" and we pronounce "samalyot".
(ii) "вертолёт" derives from "вертеть + о (connecting vowel) + лететь".
We write "вертолёт" and we pronounce "vertalyot".
You are welcome :wink:
