ABSTRACT
Introduction: the object of study is the written history of the Udmurt words tys' ‘seed, grain’ and ӟeg ‘rye’, which were first recorded by researchers in the earliest written monuments of the Udmurt language. The most important lexicographic sources show the dynamics of change / preservation of meanings and graphic and orthographic appearance of the analyzed lexemes.
Objective: to identify the words tys' ‘seed, grain’ and ӟeg ‘rye’ in written sources on the Udmurt language; to describe their semantic development and study their origin.
Research materials: written monuments of the Udmurt language of the XVIII century, as well as the most important lexicographic works of the XIX – early XXI centuries, etymological correspondences of related and unrelated contacting languages.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, the history of the recording of the words tys' ‘seed, grain’ and ӟeg ‘rye’ in the Udmurt language, starting from the XVIII century and ending by sources of the XXI centuries, is presented.
Linguistic analysis of the lexemes tys' and ӟeg showed that both words were borrowed in the common Permian period of the development of the base language from the Bulgar and Indo-European languages, respectively. Moreover, the lexeme ӟeg in the past had completely different, more elongated form *ruW'eg – (General Permian), reflexes of which have been preserved in the Komi languages and some dialects of the Udmurt language.
Key words: Udmurt language, written monuments, vocabulary, dictionary, grammar, agriculture, grain crops, history of words, etymology
