To my dear Colleague Prof. Dr. Habil. Winfried Boeder, whose generous friendship and material support were a great help in bringing this project to completion
PREFACE This work is only a little step toward realisation of the task set for all years of remaining life: as authentical as possible to reconstruct vocabulary of the extinct Baltic Prussian language. This means to produce a kind of persuasive falsification on the basis of modern as well as comparative linguistics. This is the reason why this Dictionary consists of: 1) inherited lexis found in the monuments of Old Prussian; 2) authentic Baltic Prussian lexis reconstructed mostly by Vytautas Maþiulis as well as by other Prussologists; 3) areale cultural lexis which had to penetrate into Prussian in concreteepochs first and foremost from Lower German as well as from German dialects of former West- and East Prussia; 4) generally spread modern international lexis. 4 LINGUISTIC PRINCIPLES OF THE RECOVERY OF OLD PRUSSIAN 1. The Prussians, “Ideal Prussians”, Old Prussian and New Prussian To recover a language as a tool of communication means to revive it for needs of a concrete group of people. When speaking about Prussian one always faces 2 common “truths”: 1) the Old Prussians were annihilated by the Germans who misappropriated their name; 2) Old Prussian died out in the 16 th c. The Old Prussians never created a centralized state, but their tribes became united and comprehended as one nation only under the rule of the Teutonic Order. Moreover: the first Prussian state was an independent Baltic state – not any national German state – despite German of the authorities of the Order. After bloody almost century-long wars against the Baltic Prussians, even the authorities of the state were mixed, being representatives of different European nations who had participated in crusades against Baltic Prussia in the 13 th c. The Old Prussian nobility became linguistically Germanized by the 14 th c. Linguistic Germanizing of free Prussian peasants began in the middle of the 15 th c., when after the catastrophe of Tannenberg (1410) the Free Prussians fled to Germanized towns in order to avoid being sold as serfs, together with their land, for the debts of the state. The remaining Prussians serfs preserved their language until their physical extinction during the plague and famine of 1709–1711.
