Explanation On Variations
The mutation of 'g' into 'h' (Cyrillic: г) occurred in the Ukrainian, and Belarusian languages, due to transformation of spelling from Cyrillic alphabet into Latin. The Cyrillic г/г in Russian is pronounced as g, while in Ukrainian and Belarusian as h. That also can be noted in Czech and Slovak languages that changed from Cyrillic alphabet to Latin.
In Poland, however, Bohdan is accepted alongside Bogdan.

Famous quotes containing the words explanation and/or variations:
“To develop an empiricist account of science is to depict it as involving a search for truth only about the empirical world, about what is actual and observable.... It must involve throughout a resolute rejection of the demand for an explanation of the regularities in the observable course of nature, by means of truths concerning a reality beyond what is actual and observable, as a demand which plays no role in the scientific enterprise.”
—Bas Van Fraassen (b. 1941)
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
