Usage notes

  • SAOB lists the word as neutral (singular definite artellet) with the plural either arteller or artell. Nordisk familjebok says "De egentliga artellen". Other texts seem to use artellen as singular definite, indicating the common gender.
  • Despite the common definition that limits the use to pre-communist Russia, some texts from the early 1930s also describe artels as a variant of collective farms.
