    Well, I still have some questions about the pronunciation of "word". I can't get the sound
    Can one say that this -ord sounds like -ird in bird?
    In Russian, all nationalities and their corresponding languages start with a lower-case letter.

    Yes, as well as "third", "curd" and "turd" for that matter.

    At least it does when I say them.
