I wish I could know the exact
(literal) translation of nagol’nïy tulup
...
Dear Jansy,
The definition of nagol'nyi
tulup in Ada's dictionary is quite correct, but nagol'nyi can
easily fool one (I myself was once fooled) into
thinking that one wears it na goloe telo, "on the naked
body". Elsie seems to believe that Lyovin is naked under his warm sheepskin
coat (worn, of course, by Lyovin's coachman, not by Lyovin).
