Bukhai edit
No such word. This is a back-transliteration from Russian transliteration of the Moldovan/Romanian word Buhai. `'Míkka>t 02:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
It does exist. See my English language book: Mizynec, V. - Ukrainian Folk Instruments - Melbourne: Bayda books, 1984.
The word has been transliterated from the Ukrainian. If it were from Russian it would be Bugai. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bandurist (talk • contribs) 13:25, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- You did not understand me. This happened as follows. The Romanian/Moldovan word is Buhai, taken from Ukrainian. Romainan 'h' is Ukrainian 'г'. It is still called 'buhai' in Romania. When Moldovan Cyrillic alphabet was introduced in Soviet times, it was transliterated as 'бухай' (h->х). Now in Moldova Latin alphabet is back. And the word 'buhai' is back, and there is no bukhai. 'kh' is taditional transliteration of russian 'х' into English. But this is not necessary in Moldovan (which is Romanian): they already have a correct word "buhai". If you don't believe me, ask in Wikipedia:Romanian Wikipedians' notice board. `'Míkka>t 17:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
ОК.I think I understand you now. My books on Moldavian instruments are in Russian and Russian does not have the h. I shall change it. My family lived in Kishinev, but when I visited them everything was in cyrillic. Bandurist (talk) 18:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
