paruoSime prof. Vailionis was a very clever creator of novelties, where the names of plants were lacking, collected in the living iš language. While other Vocabulary The members of the commission were often inclined to leave the Latin name for plants that do not have a name in the folk language, adding only the Lithuanian ending, prof. Vailionis su agreed to this last option only in the case of extreme trouble, when nothing suitable could be invented. Then Prof. Vailionis has given to our dictionary many successful plant names, such as the tunica prolifera, the mistletoe (Mimulus guttatus), the straw (Anthericum ramosum), etc. ir Ir terminology of plant anatomy prof. Vailionis stubbornly defended some Lithuanian terms, e.g., akelė, refusing to use the usual cell used by other biologists. Very sad that he will no longer be able to cooperate in this part of the dictionary II (plant anatomy, morphology, ir physiology terms) preparation — there would jo have been even wider ground for creation.

Kiduliai (Raj.) 1954 m. he finished Vilnius University, worked for a long time Institute of History. research associate ir Feudalism (current History of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. 1979 m. L. Mulevičius defended his habilitation thesis (according to the then — terminology of the doctoral dissertation in history) "People's Movement in 1864—1904 Lithuania". 1984 m. he was awarded the title of professor. 1979 m. Prof. L. Mulevičius decided to start preparing a dictionary of historical terms. "In the Chronicle of Lithuanian History" (hereinafter referred to as — LIM) 1980 m. was published the article jo "Need a dictionary of history terms". In this article he very clearly described the object of history terminology, indicated how the terminology of this field differs from the terminology of other fields, namely: many history terms have entered the passive language pool are now unused; most historical terms are not universal, as they were used only in a certain region (state, national territory, į administrative unit); The standardization ir of terms in Lithuanian history and the interpretation of their origin is complicated by the fact that the terms of the feudalism-capitalism period are non-Lithuanian. jų ir iš Over more than ten years, assisted by E. The other ir historians, prof. L. Mulevičius LIM has published many good articles on history terms. He wrote about rank names (LIM 1983 116—123), on the concepts of land area measures ‘valakas’, ‘margas’ (LIM 1982 73—87), about some historical terms (ocasa, uposoi nocpeanuk etc.) Ir translatį ion into Lithuanian (LIM on 198685—91), Germanisms in History Terminology (LIM 1988 150—151) ir kt For linguists especially interesting L. Mulevičius' reasoning about the term asynd (LIM 1989 91-96). This term has a true ir variant name of — the goddess It's a sin. The a. following forms of the term apydėmė were used in 16th-17th century sources: apidemali, apideme, apidemie, apidemis, apidomela, opedom, opidam, opideme, opidemia, opidoma, etc. ir Prof. L. Mulevičius writes about these options as follows: “Understandably, the farm site, better fertilized farm soil, the ir site of demolished burnt buildings with ir clay remains could still differ for a su long time in ir the color of the surrounding soil, lush, darker crops. iš The word in this sense should be written apsemena, apidema, ne apsemena." o In Lithuania there are 7 at least villages whose names su are related to the word apydėmė: Sin (Origin ir Panevėžio raj.), Apisėmės (Šilalės raj.), Apidemis (Kaišiadorių raj.), Apydėmis (Utena region), Apydemiškis 75
(Zarasų raj.) and Apvdimai (Telšių raj.). In the opinion of Prof. L. Mulevičius, the word apydėmė now has more than one lexical meaning: not only “a plot of land between rural farms or on their outskirts- ”, but also “the place of a former farm; sodybvietė’. The latter is not even included in the large Lithuanian language dictionary. | In 1979, the Institute of History held a public discussion on the names of castes, because the privileged caste of the Lithuanian feudal period was called two ways: the nobility and the slaughter. Summarizing this discussion, Prof. L. Mulevičius wrote an article in which he affirmed that in Lithuania during the period of feudalism and capitalism there were four main classes: clergy, barons, townspeople and peasants. Otherwise they are called the terms clergy, baronship, bourgeoisie and peasantry. Prof. L. Mulevičius was also interested in philology, but he did not give his opinion to anyone, he was a very tolerant, in Vydūn’s words, sunny person. Unfortunately, we have to talk about his activities in the past tense. It has already become the history of Lithuanian science. Kazimieras GAIVENIS P. Slavėnas and the word communism Prof. P. Slavėnas (1901—1991), a renowned Lithuanian astronomer, was a scientist with a wide range of interests. He was interested not only in astronomy, physics and natural sciences, but also in linguistics. Slavėnas was a member of the Presidium of the Terminology Council of the Lithuanian Academy of Sciences for several years. P. Slaven was a great erudite. He could spend hours telling linguists about astronomy, but about his ne theories of linguistics. He was well acquainted ne with only ancient languages, but ir with many modern foreign languages, and he liked to compare them to make far-reaching generalizationir s. Especially P. Slaven liked to compare the Baltic ne languagsu es only ir with the Germanic Slavic languages, but even ir su Semitic, Turkish and ir other distant Indo-European ne languages. Even a specialist ir had difficulty in understanding what was rational in those theories and jo what was fantasy. However, the professor, as o befits a great scientist, was very tolerant and would not be angry if linguists always believed ir in reasoning. ir ne jo He liked to predict the future in ir speech. On this subject he had written an article for „Language Culture“, which, 76
