This entry is primarily concerned with the word головђ denoting the human head, though it may also refer to the head of an animal. No specific words or expressions exist for heads of animals. Common sense will dictate which of the
expressions cannot be used to refer to animals. The word головђ is also used metonymically or metaphorically, in the
sense of "the seat of reason": терїть гћлову "to lose one's common sense, to lose one's head,"
Интерљсная мІсль пришлђ мнљ в гћлову "An interesting idea occurred to me," in the sense of
"good/bad memory": Головђ у менї плохђя стђла! "I can't remember things the way I used
to," in the sense of "mental ability": У негћ прекрђсная головђ! "He has a good
head on his shoulders," in the sense of "a bright or capable person": Петрћв —
головђ! "Petrov is a real brain," and in the sense of "the front part of a group of
people in motion": Ищќ егћ в головљ колћнны "Look for him at the head of the column."
