rolig commented on the word chajkovskij
Curious transliteration. Čajkovskij would make perfect sense, as would Czajkowskij or even Chaykovskiy. And then there's Tchaïkovski and Tschaikowski, not to mention English's hybrid Tchaikovsky. For more on the vagaries of transliterating Russian names into multiple languages, see my list twenty-six ways of (correctly) spelling the name of the author of the cherry orchard.
