Though you need a better dictionary: it's the diminutive of ель (as in
Yel'tsin) meaning "fir tree", and is the 4-letter word for "Christmas tree".

Resending my earlier reply. Apparently, by default, Gmail sends subject
lines in KOI8-R if they contain Cyrillic, and unicode.org rejects those as
likely spam. I just changed my Gmail settings to "Use Unicode (UTF-8)

In Russian, the difference between Е and Ё is primary at the beginning
of a word as they are considered distinct letters of the alphabet, yet
secondary in the middle of a word, as the dieresis over Ё is not
mandatory. As an example, ель < ёлка, but тёлка < тель, see
