In fact I knew that - the logo helped to transliterate.
Anyhow, being back from a 10 day wine trip to the Balkans
(Romania, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Monenegro), this helped
very much in deciphering Cyrillic. The inverted "R" is "ya". What
about the "b", btw, they told me it's a kind of "softener"?

I was not talking about "h" or "x", only describing the letter.
Anyhow - why "zh" and not "j", as "Jean-Jack" would suggest?
