Mishka nudged me painfully in the side with his sharp elbow.
Рџки у негћ бІли по лћкоть вІмазаны в крђске.
His arms were smeared with paint up to the elbows.
This entry is concerned with the word лћкоть denoting a part of the human arm. It is also used to refer to the part of the clothing that covers the elbow, e.g. Лћкти на пиджакљ протёрлись "The elbows of the jacket were worn through,"
a meaning not described in this dictionary.
