A long time ago, St. Thomas of Aquinas stated we use language in 3 basic ways to convey meaning. Equivocally, univocally and analogically. The second way univocally is what we will focus on to understand these Russian terms. Let's begin with "padriff", which means to thrust/extend the legs when pulling. It does not mean to jump up. There are dozens of words in Russian that do mean to jump up. "Prygat" means to forcefully push oneself off the ground into the air. "Vskochit"
