Hi Dave,

Russian 'strelka' is used (almost) exclusively in context of a *drawing* of
any kind where it means
just an arrow (arrow-shaped symbol of any kind) - not big, no small.
There is no word for 'large arrow'. You have to use Russian equivalents for
'big', 'bold', etc.
with the word 'strelka'.
BTW, the word 'strela' is from the Robin Hood tales and is not applicable
for symbols.

Arkady.
