from Alexey Sklyarenko
Not sure if this is relevant, but the word rokot (roar, rumble), another anagram of kot or ("what is the time" in Zemblan), occurs in the opening line of Nabokov's short poem Smert' ("Death", 1924):
Utikhnet zhizni rokot zhadnyi
I stanet muzykoyu tish'...
(Life's avid roar will die away
and silence will become music)
I'm avidly reading Matt Roth & Tiffany DeRewal's article in NOJ. Will need some time to digest their stuff.
