Hello all–

While idly reading the other day (happy the day with time for idle
reading) I ran across the following in Naming Day in Eden, Noah Jonathan
Jacobs, MacMillan: New York, 1958, p. 33: "The Russians have succeeded in
making an adjective of Mark Twain (marktvenovski)...." but with no
translation back to English.

Is anyone else familiar with this Russian adjective? And if so, what would
it translate back to?

Worse yet, what would "Samclemensovski" translate to?

Thanks,
– Gerald
