Glider, hexagen, and email
I got a call from a classmate who got an apartment near the Planernaya metro station. -How should I say it-Glider station or Glider station? - he asked. - Of course, "Glider", because glider is a French word, and the emphasis in it is on the last syllable. In the adjective, the place of stress is preserved.

The distribution of nouns in these two models is not absolute: there are exceptions in both groups; cf. confectioner, broker, trainer, sniper, sprinter, stayer, farmer - in the group of person names, balancer, trambler, tracer - in the group of device names. But we are talking about a trend, and it consists in the distribution of the two named groups of nouns according to two models. Change glider - > glider corresponds to this trend. page 40 * * * In September 1999, in connection with the tragic events in Buinaksk, Moscow, and Volgodonsk - explosions of multi - storey residential buildings that resulted in the death of dozens of people-the chemical term RDX came into active use. He flashed on the pages of newspapers, on radio and television. Th ...
