Holy Spirit

Святой Дух is the settled Trinitarian term shared with Orthodoxy; unlike Hindi, there is no rival pantheistic ‘universal spirit’ concept to guard against by default, but дух alone (without Святой) must never stand in for the Holy Spirit, since дух alone is used broadly for ‘spirit/mood/ghost’ in secular Russian (as in ‘дух времени’, zeitgeist).
