ANAGRAMS by Sarah Holland Here's a list of some of the anagrams I came up with a long time ago for "Aleksei Urmanov". I used the "Aleksei" spelling rather than "Alexei" because it yielded better anagrams and it was closer to a literal Cyrillic transcription (not that it really matters!). It would be interesting to see what anagrams can be made out of Aleksei's name in Russian, but that project can be left to somebody else. :) AMUSE A RINK, LOVE ELUSIVE ARM KOAN MAKE IL(Y)A NERVOUS O, A SILK MANEUVER AERIAL MOVE SUNK (ouch) VISUAL KNEE ROAM ALONE; MAUVE RISK I ASK VELOUR, AMEN MAKE US ONE RIVAL ME OK, VISA UNREAL O, AN ELUSIVE MARK OLIVE ARENA MUSK ME SOLE AIR KNAVE As a special bonus, here's some other anagrams for other skaters. I tried to stick to Russians, but with all the "k"s and "z"s it was difficult and I had to supplement with Western skaters.
