Hello,
I am studying phonetic changes of German words when they are exported to other languages. If anybody could tell what changes occur to German loan words in Russian? I am already aware that some /h/s become [g]s,
as in Haushofer --->Gausgofer.
Thank you in advance,
Flaminius

seems to be all about it.
Wellcome to A2K, btw!
"Schlagbaum"[same in German], "Kjegelbahn" ['Kegelbahn'] and "Maschrut" ['Marschroute'] are some more loan words.
