Abbreviations

Many glosses, especially those used for inflectional and derivational markers, represent grammatical morphemes that occur in Russian but do not occur in Sino-Russian idiolects. Glosses of free grammatical morphemes usually represent functions in the Sino-Russian idiolects. Glosses of lexical items are just rough approximations of referential meaning.
