<p>[QUOTE="IvaPan, post: 6182759, member: 78949"]Yes, you are right, it is not sh, one sound, it is s and h, two different sounds. Actually this is the reason to put this k in the first spelling, to distinguish from the sh sound.</p><p>Also Vaja is a bit strange transliteration, IMO it shold be Vazha, as his name in Cyrillic is Важа and ж is usually written in Latin as zh. I first thought his name is Вая, as the Latin ja is used for the Cyrillic я sound. And initially I could not find info in Russian about him. Важа Месхи is his name in Cyrillic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
