Usage notes

When stressed, раз- (raz-) normally changes into ро́з- (róz-), and the voiceless variant рас- (ras-) correspondingly becomes ро́с- (rós-):

• разда́ть (razdátʹ, “to distribute”) → past passive participle ро́зданный (rózdannyj)
• расписа́ть (raspisátʹ, “to paint, to decorate”) + -ь (-ʹ, noun-forming suffix, which normally causes stress to move onto a prefix) → ро́спись (róspisʹ, “painting, mural”)
