Нет такого слова! Не существует.

[pro100-petrov.livejournal.com]

There is no such a word. Where did you find it?

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

There is such a word :-), but maybe not in literary russian. it is from the Песня-сказка о нечисти by Высоцкий. The song is sung in some kind of trasyanka, almost.

[khathi.livejournal.com]

It's not a noun, it's a name. And, judging from its sound and use, it is of Indic origin, so it has little to do with Russian. Vysotsky had a significant interest in Indian mythology and religions, and some of his songs reflected it.

[khathi.livejournal.com]

Oops. ;) Not even a name. ;)

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

could have been! Not more strange than Khathi ... ;-)

Ахти, not атхи :))

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

oh, my god. It is a bad idea to start study a language with another alphabet when you are dyslectic....

[whitest-owl.livejournal.com]

You are reading a wrong text.
Try this one: http://www.bards.ru/archives/part.php?id=17801

"А от их был Змей трехглавый и слуга его - Вампир,"
Which can be translated as:
... and from them came three-headed Dragon with a servant Vampire.
"от их" is a colloquial "от них", the meaning can be: sent by them, in their delegation, ambassador, etc.

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

Thats what I thought it sounded like, thank you!
But still, does the word Atxi exist?

[whitest-owl.livejournal.com]

Nope. No such word.

I believe it was a typo made in some ancient time (at the dawn of internet) and later this variant of the lyrics was just copied from site to site.
If you listen to the original song closely you would hear "а от их" pronounced fast but still easily understand.

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

:-)

[kys.livejournal.com]

nope. Ахти exists, however, but it isn't a noun.

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

thanks to the link to the texts, much better, just at first glance, the zapitayas and the tochkas are in the right places.... there are som many sites out there with mistakes. Somnetimes it is obviuos, sometimes they confuse me...

[colonelrabin.livejournal.com]

This is definitely a typo.

The correct text is "А от их был змей трехглавый" etc. Vysotsky used the obsolete form of "они" genitive, "их" instead of "них".

[olydiagron.livejournal.com]

thank you!

Take care, that is not real Vysotsky...

Here is a link to his original text (and some audio):

http://www.kulichki.com/vv/pesni/v-zapovednyx-i-dremuchix.html

Please be aware, singing this song he is pronouncing some words in old-style (to simulate old-style Russian tale-taller). There is just one "unknown" word in the text - "бульники", that is his childhood's slang-word for "булыжники" - "cobble-stones".

Update: There is a chance to find the word "Атхи" in some texts, that could be a first name, a last name, an acronym, etc. Are you really interested in that word? If so then why?

[janelight.livejournal.com]

The original text is:
Соловей-разбойник главный
им устроил буйный пир,
А от них был Змей трехглавый
и слуга его - Вампир, -
Пили зелье в черепах, ели бульники,
Танцевали на гробах, богохульники!

Means that from another forest ("from them") came a dragon and a vampire )))

[pro100-petrov.livejournal.com]

Wrong!!!
Ели змей и черепах, и богульники,
Танцевали на гробах, богохульники.

[janelight.livejournal.com]

No )) Listen to Vysotskiy ))

[pro100-petrov.livejournal.com]

So, what? There are a lot of variants of this song. What is бульники, by the way?

[janelight.livejournal.com]

I never heard any variant of this song where Vysotskiy sings it with different words. Бульники was explained above.

[spiritrc.livejournal.com]

What damn turtles in Murom woods are you talking about? It's not Galapagos.
Besides, eating snakes and turtles is in no way a blasphemy, on the contrary to drinking anything from the bones of men that are to be buried in accordance to the Christian tradition.

Regarding the "бульники", see here:

Сегодня я разговаривал с Александром Игоревичем Муратовым. Мы беседовали больше часа, полный текст будет опубликован позднее в моей новой повести "Высоцкий в Одессе". Сейчас я просто хочу написать о вещах, которые мы в своё время обсуждали на форуме.
1. "В Ватикане прошёл мелкий дождичек..." - это текст Высоцкого, импровизация в кадре.

2. "Бульники". Как сказал Высоцкий Муратову в 1967 году, так в его мальчишеской компании называли булыжники.
