nuq 'oH *Russia*ngan Hol per'e'?
What's the Russian title?
Kak nazyvaetsya etot fil'm po-russki?
If I knew the Russian title, I'd be able to give better advice. My Russian
dictionary gives the following translation for "stalk":
-- v.i. shagat' - Stalk out of the room, demonstativno uyti iz komnaty.
-- v.t. 1, (pursue stealthily) vyslezhivat'. 2, (advance grimly across)
brodit' po: hunger stalked the land, golod brodil po strane.
For *shagat'* I would use either {yIt} "walk" or maybe *{yItqu'}
"stride". For *vyslezhivat'* - literally "to follow; trail; track; shadow"
- {tlha'}, {ghoch} and {Sam} all work. I'd use (tlha'wI'} if the person
being stalked is in sight, {ghochwI'} or {SamwI'} if not.
