10 hrs confidence:
acriby / acribia Explanation: There are two options when translating this word: 1) use a more common and more understandable word, 2) stick to a cognate term. Personally, I would use 'acribia' or 'acriby' in this case (as obscure and incomprehensible to an Engilsh native-apeaker as 'akrybia' to Polish). -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 hrs (2020-11-06 22:05:27 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Might be inside the quotation marks. https://www.wordnik.com/words/acriby |
