In 1724 in Leipzig appeared a guide for travels around Europe, Leit-Stern der Reifendenl, It consisted of three parts with separate paginations: in the first part (152 p.) a collection of prayers and sacred hymns needed at the time of travel was presented, in the second part (48 p.) medical advice and prescriptions for medicines were written, in the third, the largest part (215 p.), European countries were described and everything related to traveling through them was explained. A preface by L. J. Feller is attached at the beginning of the publication. The date of its writing is 1681.11.29. The book must have been prepared almost half a century before it was published. This means that it contains data from the second half or even the middle of the 17th century. The book itself is published in a convenient pocket format, printed in fine print and adapted in all respects to use on the road. We are most interested in the third part of this publication, which deals with Lithuania and the Lithuanian language, and presents a list of Lithuanian words and sentences with German translations. This section has a separate title page and a separate heading, as if it were an independent book?. It was designed by Gottfried Kirch. As can be seen from its title in the title itself (der Stern-Kun/- |t Ergebenen) and in L. J. Felleri's preface (in der Aftronomie 1 Any Years) it is customary for the book to have a long title.

It is 1724. —One copy of this book was in Riga with Prof. M. Rudzyte, who kindly allowed the author of this article to use it. For this, let us express our heartfelt thanks to her. Later she donated this copy to the Vilnius University Library (preserved in the rare publications department). * And here the title is long: Europai|- cher Wandersmann, Welcher, als ein getreuer Reije-Geferte, aufs allerkūrt3e|te die Lander und Kėnigreiche in Europa eržehlet; Also as a tolmet cher gives good news of those usual languages of the Linder, without which a mature dafelbft [chwerlich can get by.Here you will also find calculating tables, which partly serve to change local and foreign currencies, partly to buy and sell, but others to calculate 3eit and place.

Hej fens Wittwe, Anno 1724, 15. 225 wohlgegründete Mann), most likely it was the well-known German astronomer Gottfried Kirch (1639—1710- ). J. J. Faller considers the authors to be notable calendar compilers. And indeed, the astronomer G. Kirch was engaged in the preparation of calendars until 1700, when he was invited to the newly
established Academy of Sciences in Berlin.”* The latter circumstance makes our assumption almost unquestionable. The present part of the publication first briefly discusses the globe, then Europe, and then the individual European countries of that time, from west to east (pp. 6-79). Apart from Germany, Spain, France, Bohemia (i.e. Czech Republic), Hungary, Turkey, Italy, England, Sweden, Poland and Lithuania are discussed more extensively. Add lists of the most necessary words and phrases for travellers in these countries. Other European countries (Portugal, Denmark, Norway and the Principality of Moscow) are discussed more narrowly and their language examples are not given. Then follow extensive chapters (pp. 79—215) containing certain schematics to help the traveller orient himself in geography, and various tables to help him calculate (e.g. money), to get to grips with the foreign system of money and measures-times, etc. A lot of space is given to calendar matters, such as the given tables of holidays, time setting, moon phases, etc., and quite extensive descriptions of their use.

They had to be taken iš Eastern Prussian Lithuanians. This is especially evident in their vocabulary, e.g. ; The (= Buxhoev- < edens. Biichsen) "trousers", Eris (=lamb) ‘ériukas’, Ge/ellis (Voice. "Gesetzer, Gesetze, Gesetzeszusätze" (in ja German). and) ‘yes’, Jumprowa (=yourtest<v. Virgin) ‘panelé’, Brush (plg. kéZas <vox. Kise) ‘siris; varškė', Krufchtina (plg. krustiné, krustiéné) ‘barley grains of dead barley’, (= Lapene lapiéné) ‘kopustas’, Mutze mice (= muce vok. ar < dial. mutze) "hat" (plg. Kdpure = kepūre ‘skrybélé’), Piewe (plg. pyvas < 1. beer) ‘pirktinis alus’ (plg. beers ‘naminis alus’), Puppiwe (=piispyvé, plg. vok. Halbbier) 'stalo alus', Ruckpiwe (= sourdough) ‘actas’, Skincks (= distinctive) 'weak home-brewed beer, gira', Stopa (I'm a < steppe. dial. step) ‘likvidu matas par litru’ 1'/, (plg. Footprint Piewa ‘stopa alaus’, Puf Footprint 'half stopa'), Streplis (=stripped ar I'm iš stunned. Stripes on dial. form) ‘kojinés’, Tolerus (= tolierius) 'plate', Schupohna (=aunt < sen. 1. Zupani) ‘ponia’. In Lithuanian sentences mentioned Eastern Provinces of Prussia Karaliaučius (dial. Karliducius), Tilžė (Thilfcha), Klaipėda (if applicable) Mūmela ‘iki Klaipėda"). Phonetic characteristics of words also indicate Eastern Prussian Lithuanian „striukių“ dialect, cf. limb reduction: Dews (=thieves) ‘god’, Pohns (=puns) ‘ponas’, Laps rieds (=good morning < laps ric) ‘good morning’, g. sg. Mana (=where) ‘mano’, Tawa (=tava) ‘tavo’ kt. ir Writing Ak/enas ‘gold’, Roudonas Akfinas ‘red gold’, on Karlatfche ‘i Queens' orient us į ta the part of the jackets where the solids du, di, monophthongize éi (translad, ting é). But plg. d. s.g. ma (=md) ‘man’, sg. i. m. jim (fastest distorted Eastern Prussian Lithuanian forjuom ma or made by myself "same') ‘juo’, 3. praes. go 'one', pair 19 t. y. Sche/chtoks. 20 t. y. stones., 229
“come, come", adv. fchd (var. [chie, i. e. §¢) “Sen, cia'), which were quite widely used in the Lithuanian dialects of East Prussia at that time. The short vowels w, i had to be pronounced very openly. They are often marked with the letters 0, e, e.g., Ognes ‘fire’, Schowis ‘fish’, Platos ‘wide’, fo ‘with’, mel/cho (< begging) ‘please’, Elks ‘long’, er ‘and’, Schefche ‘six’, a. pl. dantes ‘teeth’, etc. It is possible that not all words are taken from the same dialect. This is due to the presence of doublets, such as Ilgis | oder Elks | lang, or To | oder Tu | du. In the writing Labu denu | guten Tag we could see the end of the eastern highlander. P.G.S.G. Don and Dunes "bread", 2. sg. imper. Dog ‘give’ next to 3. fut. dus ‘duos’. The second example of these pairs suggests a southern Zemgalian dialect. Sui (i.e. i) is replaced by three other words: Wokitif "German- ", Winolke "eleven" and Ant Litufchki "Lithuanian". The last two words are very distorted. The latter may have a i due to German (auf) Lithauifch, plg. Letowifchke "in Lithuanian". Next to Winolke ‘eleven’ is written Wenes ‘one’ (with e = ie; for -Ike cf. Trielika ‘thirteen’). In addition to the above examples, the letters o, e (ee) are now used everywhere instead of the present-- day Lithuanian literary uo, ie. In addition, there is a monophthongation of the ending -(i)ai, e.g., n. pl. Schirna "Peas', Me/che "barley', adv. "in German", Letowifchke "in Lithuanian". The person who wrote the Lithuanian examples must have been a German. This is due to the absence of a stable, solid base. Schaudey ‘Siaudai’, Rugai ‘rugiai’, Sauros ‘naujas’, Kdturolika “14°, Dewinolka ‘19’, etc. He also poorly distinguished the muffled consonants from the corresponding skardZiuju, e.g., rieds ‘morning’, Artaug “or a lot’, Dog ‘give’, Grifina “grivina’. Instead of the nominative, he sometimes wrote other forms of the noun, such as Allaus | Dorff-Beer, Swiefta | Butter, Schaukfta | Lēffel. In general, the person was poorly oriented in the Lithuanian ending system: as is typical of the German, he often wrote -es, -e instead of -as, -a, and sometimes confused other endings, e.g., Schenes "sienas', Miles'mile', Wenes 'one', Schimtes 'a hundred', Septinolke'seventeen', Trumpop'short', UJfch trif Grofchi "už tris graSius', du Kdle 'two ways', etc. Poor language proficiency is also shown by the inappropriate joining or splitting of words, e.g., Armoki “or moki’, Artaug “or much’, Arnd “or not’, Keip ptoli “how far’, Aude klos “cloth’, per Nakt woti “to spend the night”, nd per ma nau (=nepermanau) ‘I do not understand’. However, there may also be typographical errors. It must be said that in this book not only Lithuanian, but also other language words added to the description of the respective countries are inaccurately written. The Polish examples are almost as distorted as the Lithuanian ones. The spelling of Lithuanian examples is overly Germanic, e.g., ie instead of y (Trief "three", Dwielika "twelve", rieds "morning..."), ei instead of ai (Keip 'how', palleikik'support', BerteinipB "bertainis'...- ), consonant duplication after the short vowel (Allaus "beer", millo "mile", Schillingas "shilling"...). The combination of letters sch not only denotes the Lithuanian consonant š, but also ž, even the Afrikaans dž: Schowis 'zuvis', Awifcha "oats", Schmogus *žmogus', Melfchu "plead, please" and so on. There is no evidence that G. Kirchas himself knew at least a little bit of Lithuanian. Most likely, the examples of Lithuanian, as well as other languages, will have been compiled by other persons. The informant was probably some elderly German in East Prussia, 230
