Old Russian words for linguist and linguistics

[Bhadraiah Mallampalli]

Kindly check this URL which discusses the synonyms for the word linguist in
different languages.

http://www.linguistlist.org/issues/5/5-1192.html

The old Russian word "Yazykoved" might interest the group. Any luck with
trying "yajna-kovid" or "yajnik-o-vedet"?

Also says the word for linguistics is "jazykoznanie". Is this 'yajnic
jnani"? :-)

Where is old Russian spoken, and how different it is from new? Any other
coincidence other than linguist?

Thanks in advance.
Regards
Bhadraiah
