The author shows that today the mechanisms of adaptation of the Byzantine singing tradition in
ancient Russia can be identified through the terminology database of learning vocal alphabets. On the
basis of the singing alphabet BAN 32.16.18, the paper demonstrates that the etymology of the names of
the studied formulas, either Byzantine or Russian, is isomorphic to the character of the melodic chant.
The study proves that triple isomorphism – the etymology of the term + the nature of the chant + the text
content – did not only provide a synthesis of the elements of the Orthodox tradition of singing throughout
the liturgical action, but also made it possible to regulate the processes of teaching tunes, transmitted
by oral and written ways, i.e. performed a dual function. The paper presents some examples of Greek
and Russian terms compliance with the terms used in the musical traditions of ancient Russia.
