As far as I can see, all the entries in the Russian encyclopedic
dictionary are lowercase (even though most of them are proper nouns).
For some (good) reason my emacs interface lowercases the input anyway.

Not at all.  Nobody shall see this index anyway.

  WDF> What should I do?

There were rumors that one has to use C locale anyway for the index
sort.  And as far as I can see from the utf-8 deutsch_de-ru.index, the
last German letter is ü :)  What matters is that it does find the
German word for me, also it finds "zwölf" and "zyklus" (the latter
being found as "Zyklus").
