[QUOTE="Figtree3, post: 9690, member: 33"]I can make out basically what it means if it's in Russian, except that last word. And there is a similar word in Russian, but slightly different. The first three words say something like, "We bow before your cross" -- the last word I'm not finding in Russian, but it seems similar to владыка, which means lord, ruler, or sovereign (according to one of my Russian dictionaries). That meaning seems to go along with the rest of the sentence. So it might mean something like "We bow before Your cross, Lord" -- either in a language similar to Russian, OR that last word is an acceptable Russian variant on the Russian word I found. When I first saw that last word I thought it was an adverb because of the KO ending... and it's possible that it is a more obscure word that's an adverb, perhaps.[/QUOTE]
