Milosrdenstvi		 I am a sort of a philosopher, a sort of a theologian, a sort of a linguist, a sort of a mathematician, a sort of computer technician, a sort of a naturalist, a sort of a romantic, a sort of a cynic, a sort of a thinker, a sort of a musician, a sort of a chess-player, a sort of a historian, a sort of a homebody, a sort of a cosmopolite, and very much a bookworm, pedant, Christian, and jack-of-all-trades.

I also study Ancient Greek and use it to coin words.

I felt I had to give her sisters, so though they did not appear in the story, it was mentioned that she had three sisters (in analogy to the Palace Beautiful in Pilgrim's Progress) named Modrost, Z'boznost, and Milosrdenstvi. I liked the final name so much I've been using it sporadically since. Technically there should be an acute on the terminal i.
