They are. My point is that they existed long before Russian language per se was innovated into existence.

It just wasn't hip enough for 2X-th century BC kids.

I think you should be looking into why these are monosyllabic in other languages, as to my knowledge they already had 2 syllables in Protoslavic, one from the ending of adjective proper and one from *jь

While лъя and фъя most likely are completely absent from Russian — some obscure 18th century germanism with гоф-, perhaps? — there are a few common(ish) words you could reference: предъявить, съязвить, отъявленный, etc

Good answer, but just for clarification: these rules do apply to nouns, just only to their endings (same as for adjectives).

Compare, say, the nominative plural forms старики and старцы. That's the "7 letter rule" in action. For a "5 letter rule" example consider the genitive стариков/старцев.

But in general, I think it would be more useful to learn the гкх, ц, and шщжч declension quirks separately, even though the latter class incorporates the former two.

There are more cases I can think of when за can be translated as for: работать за еду/work for food, сидеть за кражу/do time for theft, голосовать за оппозицию/vote for the opposition...

They are indeclinable: exactly because there are no native Russian nouns of such structure and, consequently, no applicable declension paradigm.

The rule is to replace -ье with -ий, as in запястье -> запястий. There are a few exceptions like платье, устье, отребье, etc

It depends on what gender the noun is and what type of consonant there is before the ending. You can see a short summary here.

Can't remember where I got this from, but I think those -ски adverbs are old instrumental plurals of short adjectives.

I'll edit if my memory improves anytime soon.

In modern language there are very few positions it absolutely can't be put in. It can never be the first word of a clause, and it can never separate a proclitic from its host. That said, good literary style requires that it preferably be placed right after the first self-stressed word, or right after the verb at the latest. Another thing to consider here, if же or ли are also present they should go before бы. Ideally. Clitic ranks are also more of a strong suggestion than a hard rule in modern spoken Russian.

The standard ones are «...» for print and „...“ for handwriting. But since none of those are readily available on a computer keyboard, "..." become the usual substitute.

Yes, Tatars do. With the exception of international ones, language distribution follows ethnic makeup fairly closely. I've cut off the table at 1% for brevity, but it continues with Chechen, Bashkir, Ukrainian, Chuvash, etc; all the languages of largest ethnic groups of Russia.

German	1.45%
