@Benwing2, Atitarev: Can this be trisyllabic? I've heard Putin pronounce that word several times, and I always thought it was **бориба. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 11:01, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Per utramque cavernam: No, I can't imagine this being trisyllabic in anyone's native accent but I know that words in foreign languages can sound as something else. Slavic palatalisation causes some difficulties to foreign learners. Let me know if you find an example. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 11:14, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Atitarev: Yes, it's subtle. I can hear it as dissyllabic if I concentrate, but intuitively I hear three syllables. --Per utramque cavernam (talk) 19:51, 24 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
