It's clearer to say, "In English it is 'red', in Russian it is 'krasniy'.

I'd never say a word is "similar to a mirror". When I look at a word, the
notion that arises in my mind is totally dependent on earlier associations
with the word. When I look at any word, say, 'efficient', its mirror image is
those letters backwards. Your notion here is incomprehensible to me, Boris.

Who's "we"? I certainly don't, and no one I've asked does.
