A comparison of the Old Novgorod vocabulary items, as preserved in historical onomastics, with those of the NOS, POS, SRNG
Having considered several verbal and nominal stems, and basing on their etymological analysis, we believe that it is possible to supplement the existing data on the lexico-semantic level of the Old Novgorod dialect (11th-14th centuries) with some new information on the remnant features of this idiom in Novgorod and Pskov dialects of the 19th and 20th centuries. Most of the reconstructed lexical units are likely to belong to the archaic periphery of the East-Slavic area, which allows us to take a fresh look at the nature of some of the later “isolated” words, supposed borrowings or contaminated items (gvizdъ, žirъ / žьrъ, koščuna, milъ, mirъ / mѣrъ, skoromъ, čara etc.).
