Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): [box] (phonetic respelling: бох)
  • IPA(key): [bok] (not recommended)
  • Audio(file)

In the nominative singular, the word is usually pronounced /box/ (as if spelled бох) due to Church Slavonic influence. The regular pronunciation /bok/ is used only rarely (mostly for pagan deities) and is not recommended. In all other case forms, the regular /ɡ/ is more common, but older pronunciations used /ɣ/.

бог • (box) m anim (genitive бо́га, nominative plural бо́ги, genitive plural бого́в, feminine боги́ня)

  2. god, idol

Usage notes
  • Usually not capitalized in Russian in the sense of idol, or when referring to a single god with a polytheistic pantheon. It is normally capitalized in monotheistic sense, such as in Islamic or Christian discourse (see Бог (Box)), except for some common set expressions[1].
