GEOMETRIC TERMINOLOGY IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE OF THE EARLY 17th CENTURY (EXEMPLIFIED BY “CHARTER OF MARTIAL, CANNON AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED TO MILITARY SCIENCE”) by Dmitry V. Rudnev, Milyausha G. Sharikhina

“…If there were correlated concepts in Russian, relatively stable ways of conveying them were used: Punct – stat’ya (article), Linie – cherta, chertezh (line), Winckel – ugol (angle), Tryangel – tregranets (triangle), etc. In the absence of equivalents, the translator could transliterate a foreign word and simultaneously use the words of the native language that are close in meaning: Diameter is expressed as diamet(e)r, razmer, mera. …”
