This is a continuation of my earlier question
Can anyone translate these english words to Belarusian?
There is surprisingly little translation help available online!
fox
mink
squirrel
weasel
sable
ermine
rabbit
As you can guess I’m trying to figure out what kind of fur a hat is made of, I see the label but can’t figure out what it says!
The following are the translations into Russian (not Belarussian) for the animals/furs of which you speak. The two languages are fairly closely related, and something quite similar to the Russian words may be the accurate Belarussian.
fox – лиса
mink – норка
squirrel – белка
weasel – ласка
sabel – соболь
ermine – горностай
rabbit – кролик
Hope this is some help.
Thanks for the help Polycarp, I tried russian first ( thats what language I assumed it was in ) and none of the russian words seem to fit. I guess I’m gonna need a fluent Belarusian…
Thanks again for the attempt though!
Can you transcribe the label or post a picture of it? I have a Belarussian friend who might be able to help.
I can send it to you, here is my address

Wow do many people speak Belarusian? I can’t believe how little translation is out there…
