Why

[edit]

Why Tumen (ru:Тумен, ru:Тумень), not Tuman (ru:Туман)? And not mist, Туман that is fog in english. --Insider (talk) 21:27, 23 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Right, I think you are correct. It's an unstressed vowel, kind of a schwa thing I guess, so it's a little iffy, but I think I just erred. I'll change it.
As to fog/mist, these are essentially interchangeable words. Mist is more idiomatic: generally, you would not name a ship Fog in English, but rather Mist. Fog would sound just slightly off. Herostratus (talk) 03:36, 25 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
