Anyone wishing to write Russian prose (or poetry, for that matter)
cannot afford never to use a khah, nor even a tvyordyy znak. For the
latter, how many verbs use it between the prefix and the root? Answer: a
lot. Among the first "little songs" I learnt when starting on Russian,
one of them goes
Э-эй ухнем! э-эй ухнем!
Еще разик, еще раз...
with a khah, and another
У попа была собака, он ее любил.
Она съела кусок мяса, он ее убил.
И в землю закопал, и надпись написал:
У попа была собака...
(repeat at will) with a hard sign. (Also хорошо and холодно, two of the
first words I learnt and certainly not of the rarest, use a khah. And at
the start of the word, to boot, which would capitalize that letter
whenever the word starts a sentence.)
Best regards,
Tony.
