LITHUANIAN AREA LINGUISTICS QUESTIONS LITHUANIAN SSR ACADEMY OF SCIENCES A. JONAITYTĖ RATELIO SPINDLE AND ITS PARTS NAMES In most of Lithuania, the spindle is now attached to the ratel — it is inserted into the chair of the lying ratel or into the end of the crossbar of the upright ratel. There are two types of spindle attached to the wheel. The spindle of the first —the most common—type consists of a relatively long vertical stem, a shorter horizontal stem inserted into it and a certain table (sometimes a racket, fork) inserted into the end of the latter?. The peg is usually pinned to the table with a wooden, rarely bone or metal spike, and sometimes it is tied. The second type of spindle consists of a table with a long shank inserted into the appropriate part of the wheel, and a spike or rope to attach the peg. In the southeastern and partly southern edges of Lithuania and on the nearby Lithuanian islands of the Belarusian SSR, there is still an ancient spindle, completely separate from the wheel. It is a large pegboard with a long shank, the end of which is nailed to a special-shaped base plate. During spinning, the plate is placed on a chair or bench, and the spinner sits on it*. This type of spindle is usually attached to a peg, and the spindle itself is not dismantled. The name of the whole spindle is written relatively sparsely from the dialects, and the writings are distributed very unevenly. The common name of the spindle is not written at all from the Lithuanian language. In the western highlands, with a couple of exceptions, we have data only from a few southern dialects. The name of this object is also written in the middle highland dialect only from the southern part (to the south of Kėdainiai). There are also few and random data from the eastern Highlands — the records are scattered throughout the area without any regularity. However, except for the western part (approximately to the Nemunas), the name of the spindle itself is almost correctly written in the Dzūkian dialect. ! The article examines data recorded according to the Lithuanian Language Atlas material collection program (see Lithuanian Language Atlas material collection program, Vilnius, I edition 1951, II —1956, p. 15, question no. 31). They are partly supplemented with material from the Lithuanian language dictionary database. * See drawing. Lithuanian Ethnography, Vilnius, 1964, p. 302; Lithuanian Language Atlas Material Collection Instructions, Vilnius, I edition 1954, II—1958, p. 126. 3 See. Lithuanian ethnography features, p. 303, fig. 167(3). * See drawing. Lithuanian ethnography features, p. 299, fig. 162. By the way, from several southeastern Dzūkijos dialects we have written even the name of the spindle seat. This is hand N&, pussy Mžn, Dv, ass Dbč, tail Daul, Grv. 121
There was no reason for the scarcity and uneven distribution of records. Firstly, in the Lithuanian language atlas material collection program and instruction, the name of the spindle itself as a separate object was not required at all. Secondly, the spindles of the first two types are inserted into the spindle when spinning linen or stuffing (wool — only in some places), and otherwise kept separately from it, so the collectors of Atlas material, especially working without an instruction, where there is a drawing of the spindle with the inserted spindle, could easily forget to write down the spindle itself: the names of the spindle and its parts are not recorded at all in more than 50 of the studied sites®. Thirdly, in the western part of the Lithuanian language area, judging from the complete absence of general writings of the name of the spindle, it seems that it may no longer exist as a name of a separate object at all. Meanwhile, the abundant data from the Dzūkian dialects can be explained by the fact that there is often still an old type of spindle — separate from the wheel — which is usually considered by people as one indivisible object. That this is really the case is confirmed by the very few names of individual parts of the spindle in these Dzūkian dialects. Finally, the complete or incomplete, accurate or inaccurate notation of the names of both the spindle itself and its parts, as sometimes clearly appears from the collected material, depends considerably on subjective reasons — on the knowledge, good will, accuracy, and sometimes even on the individual “taste” of the dialectologists. The written names of the whole spindle are usually the same as the common names of its two stems, and sometimes, if the stems are called each in its own way, as the names of the vertical long stem (e.g. spindle: 1. spindle; 2. vertical horizontal spindle stems; vertical stem). ir 3. This is often referred to as the "horizontal line". It should only be emphasized that no name with multiple meanings is usually written in the same place: in one it is written with one meaning, in another with another. — ir t. t. Two values to of the same name written in one place can only be in the case of a place investigated ta du ar three times at ne the same time: some researchers have written one value, others — another, ir etc. Such cases of ambiguity can indicate things: that the names of some parts of the spindle du are no longer always 1) strictly differentiated in ir dialects that the collectors of the atlas material themselves do not like the part ir 2) ir jų names only. As far as the analysis of the material can be judged, the iš ambiguity comes from both of these things. A polynomial name sometimes has a relatively compact single common area or at least a kind of concentration area. With this in mind, trying to discuss be each name in one place, the names of the spindle itself are not separated in a separate section, but discussed together į with the respective names of the stems of its parts. su — — All that can be said here is that all the written names of the spindle itself have the root spin- (rarely varp-) ir that sometimes they come from the ir object type. For example, about The name of the į spindle used by the farmers is verpscidkas, the old, completely separate from o the spindle webpstis. In an effort to adhere to some order system — of examining names, the names of the same root spindle and its stems are reviewed according to the abundance of meanings: starting from four-valued ending with unimportant, meaningful groups ir * The names ir of the parts of the spindle may be omitted for other ir reasons; e.g. ex. iš In the dialects of Klaipėda region they are very often not recorded because spinning was abandoned there quite a long time ago and the names of ir the parts of the wheel have been forgotten over time. ; 122
inside in alphabetical order. The values themselves are noted with Roman numerals for shortness: I means that the word is written as the name of the whole spindle, II — that the word is written as the common name of both spindle stems, III — that the word is written as the name of the vertical spindle stem, and IV — that the word is written as the name of the horizontal spindle stem. 1. verp-(varp-) root names. The various names of this root form a compact common area, covering more than half of the entire Lithuanian language area. The western boundary of this area, beginning at the border of the Latvian SSR, passes through Namajūnai, Saločiūs, Kriaušiškiūs, Joniškėlis, Rozalima, Voskėniai, Liūtkiškiai, Lėgečiai, Šaūkota, Šnipaičiai, Laužūs, Betygala, Ilgižiai, Rugénai, Vandžiėgala, Batėgala, Karmėlava, Pdderiskiai, Mauručiūs, Plūtiškės, Igliauka, Liudvinavą, Kalvariją, Liubdva. In the west of this boundary, the names of spindle roots are recorded only from a few separate places. (a) Var. su verp-.

The following are the names of the spindle roots, written in three meanings. The first one. of them —wefpst is very rare. It has the following meanings. : Jrgl, Vvs, Brsl, Aps, in the second meaning — Skls, and in the third meaning — Grst. Them. the spindle-tailed hawk occupies a compact, relatively large range south of: dem. spindle main area. The boundary of the Verpsčiokas area from the border of the BSSR approximately passes through Kabeliūs, Kūniava, Vydeniūs, Čebatoriūs, Kuršiūs, Rūdninkai, Maceliūs, Panėšiškes, Mefgiškes, Žiežmariūs, Kaišiadėris, Rumšiškes, Armališkes, Pėderiškiai, Mauručiūs, Išlaužas, Prienai, Birštonas, Balbičriškį (see virpscidkas)?, Gelčiūs, Mėteliai, Avižieniūs, Veisiejus, Lėipalingis, Drūskininkai, i.e. this area covers the very southern part of the middle highlands, most of the western Dzūkijos and one other surrounding southwestern highlands dialect. In other parts of the world, it is recorded only from a few separate places. This is the meaning of the name. : Arml, Mrč, Krn, Drs, Prn, Uzg, Mrg, NmjB, GI¢, Mcl, Rūdn, Al, Gnn, Pčk, Ilgn, Dre, Chit, Vyd, Vs, LS, Knv, Mas, Drz, Rtn, Kb; 3rd meaning —Seln, Ilgn, Svl, Mrk. In all elsewhere in the specified area the spindle count is written as II (in total 33 places). In addition, it has a 2. : Kmn, Tlm, Lkč, Krsn. A small, but fairly uniform area is occupied by spindle root derivatives with the prefixes pra-, pri-, pry-(for pri-). The boundary of this area passes through Lėgečiai, Baisėgala, Pociūnėliai, Krakės, Sutkūnai, IlgiZius, Snipaičiai, Šaūkota. In the I meaning, those derivatives are not recorded at all; 2nd ed. Pc, Az, Krk, Stkn, Bsg; III meaning: adjective Snp, adjective Ilgž; IV reikšme: praverpstūkas PSS, prieverpstūkas Šnp, pryverpsčiūkas Škt. Some names of spindle roots are ambiguous — written with either I or II. Of these, the largest and most prominent common area has the name vefpstis (/verpstis- ), used in the southeastern and partly southern edges of the Lithuanian language area. The western and partly northern boundary of the area of the same name approximately runs from Ceikinély through Švenčioonėliai, Mielagénai (Švenčionių r.), Troškūnai (Vilnius r.), Ažūlaukė, Sūdervė, Marijampolė, VéZionis, Vydeniūs, Kūniava, Drūskininkai, Macevičiūs, Kučiūnai. In the northern and western parts of the country, the name is sometimes used. The name webpstis is written in the I meaning: Skm, Ckn, MI, Pirš, Švnčn, Švnč, MIS, Rop, TrškV, Ažik, Nmč, Mgn, Sde, Glb, Tilt, Jaš, Gnn, GdIS, Šičnl, Kurm, Daul, Mžn, Vyd, Vėž, Eiš, Btrm, Knv, Dgdn, Spgs, Drsk, Dbč, Grv, Lz, Vrnv, Nč, Rod, Pls, Azr, Zt.® Much rarer writings of this name in the II meaning —Sdk, Mrp, Pv, Kč. 100. ^ "I'm in a hurry. : Zbl, Dail, Mcvé, NG; II significame — Bte, BrčT.

It is a rare and scattered species. It has the following meanings. : Rud, Rtn; TI-Sug, Kš, Kaug, Ryk, Lntv, AkV, Vrn, Lp, Lpln. There are only two derivatives of the spindle root written with one — the first — meaning: verpéja Vēl and verpstys Prvn. (b) Var. su varp-. The roots of the stem are very rarely rooted. They also do not have larger continuous ranges. In terms of their geography in general, they can be found only in the northern and northwestern parts of the common spindle. In all four possible meanings, two names are written with a varp-. The first of these is the wafpst (|wrap|) and its diminutives. In the I meaning, the wafpst is written: SmlB, Dkn, dem.

Other derivatives are written with only one meaning: II meaning —preposition NrnJ, preposition Trm; 4th ed., pp. 104. ^ "Stewart, J.M., ed. 2. Names of other roots. Names with other roots (not spindle-| spindle-) have fewer meanings, because, as already said, none of them is written anywhere with the I-value, i.e. as the name of the whole spindle. In this way they are divided into two groups: to the first belong those who are usually written in three or two values, to the second those who are written in only one value—or only II, or only III, or only IV. (a) In alphabetical order, the first name of the first group is the trivalent hybrid panélé. The name has a slightly larger and clearer area in the Zemgalish language. The boundaries of the area are approximately as follows: Židikai —Puokė —Seda —Alsėdžiai —Plūngė —Alkas —Ūžpeliai —EidZidtai —Rūdupiai —Gadūnavas —Dauginiai — „Purvėnai. In addition to this, the name is also used in several other places.

There are few names written with only III or only IV meaning, i.e. as names of vertical or horizontal spindle stems. In addition, both stems, as far as it can be judged from the available material, clearly have separate names in a not so large area. The boundary of this area can be roughly described as follows: Švėkšna — Rietavas —Telšiai —Papilė —Meškūičiai —Vaškai —Pakrūojis —Šeduva — Šiluva —Šilalė —Švėkšna. Elsewhere, as can be seen from the discussed names of polysemantic terms, their names are quite confused, although sometimes certain tendencies of differentiation can be noticed. Let us say that the names of the stems of the same root sometimes differ from each other: 1) suffix, e.g., al* —raiikena, b —ranka Bdr, a —raiikena, b —rankelė LapK, a —stiebėlis, b —stiebukas Pgr, Jc, Stak, a —stiebūkas, b —stiebėlis NmŠ, DglšR, a —varpstėlis, b —varpsčiūkas Ši; 2) in non-deminutive and deminutive forms, e.g., a —prieverpstis, b —prieverpstūkas Šnp, a — “1 In the last two places (Vt, Graž) stiėbas is written.
