The eligious ph aseology is omnip esen ; in some cases, Ruhig e en indica es he G eek o Heb ew sou ce. O he examples seem o e lec he daily use o he language. I is no di icul o ack down examples om p e ious g amma s: one may compa e, o example, Ge iù Wandens ‘I d ink wa e ’ (I 209, G eek πίνω ὕδατος, Ge man ich inke Wasse ) wi h Ge iu Wandenio (Sappuhn, Schul z 1673: 80, G eek πίνω ὕδατος, La in Bibo aq am), o Důk mán Důnôs ‘gi e me some b ead’ (I 209, Ge man gieb mi B o ) wi h Důk man Důnôs (Hack 1730: 333). The acsimile is ollowed by a c i ical edi ion o he Ge man ex on he le and i s Li huanian ansla ion on he igh (I 227–553).

Some imes, he e minological equi alence is mo e challenging. I ha e al eady men ioned he La in e m ancipi es ‘ wo-headed’ used o e e o owels ha a e ei he sho o long; i has no equi alen in Li huanian. I is ende ed he e by s y uojančiosios balsės ‘hesi a ing owels’ (I 251), which is a e all a good op ion. In a small numbe o cases, one could p opose a di e en ansla ion. The La in e m Deduc io (li e ally ‘leading away’) is ende ed in Li huanian ei he by edyba (e.g. I 367) o by da yba (e.g. I 372).
