• The older norm for "Cossack" was "коза́къ" (before 1918) and "коза́к" (until around the 1960s), and the older norm for "Kazakh" was "каза́къ" (before 1918) and until 1936 "каза́к". In modern Russian, the standard spelling for "Cossack" is only "каза́к", with two different stress patterns (b and d), e.g. plural "казаки́" or "каза́ки". For "Kazakh", only "каза́х" is the correct form, with stress pattern "a". According to Vasmer, "каза́ки" (stress pattern d) was influenced by Polish.
