I don't understand your problem. The accent is on the _third_ syllable,
that is on the first "o" in "Kalma_go_rov". It is usual to put the stress
mark ' in front of the accented syllable.
On a related topic: I have always wondered about the correct pronunciation
of Chebysev.
In Russia I heard it as Chebi_shov_, with the accent at the end. It all
reduces to the question of exact spelling in Russian: is the second vowel an
"e" or "umlaut e" (the one with two dots). Unfortunately printed text do not
distuinguish these letters. So, does anybody know which is the correct
spelling and pronunciation?
