Talk:вор в законе

@Atitarev, Wikitiki89, Cinemantique: вор (vor) is only pattern e, but the вор in this word appears to be e or b; is this correct? Benwing2 (talk) 08:00, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

@Benwing2 The other stress patterns are non-standard (not recommended) but quite common. You can hear various stress patterns on this word. I recently heard locative "на вору́" in the proverb на во́ре́ и ша́пка гори́т (ru) (na vóré i šápka gorít) (the hat burns on the thief too). - "if the shoe fits". In this proverb most people say "на воре́", which is not a recommended stress. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 09:35, 22 October 2015 (UTC)
