мозг • (mozh) m inan (genitive мо́зга, nominative plural мазгі́, genitive plural мазго́ў)

1. brain

• Together with лязг (ljazh), мозг (mozh) is a rather unique phonetically awkward word.[1] There are even claims that historically only the plural form was actually correct in the Belarusian language. Nonetheless, modern dictionaries attest the singular form.

• “мозг” in Belarusian–Russian dictionaries and Belarusian dictionaries at slounik.org
• “мозг”, in Skarnik's Belarusian dictionary (in Belarusian), based on Kandrat Krapiva's Explanatory Dictionary of the Belarusian Language (1977-1984)
• "мозг" in Valentyna Pashkevich's English-Belarusian dictionary (Taraškievica orthography) at Verbum
