Text of the page (random words):
burning an immediate confiscation or he must come before that body and in accordance with his status pay compensation for his sin these unbelieving and fickle people nonetheless demand reliability and great loyalty from others they make peace by offering hair cut from the top of their heads and grass and by joining their right hands but the desire for riches will easily move them to violate it such warriors once our servants now free because of our wickedness came with their gods for the purpose of supporting the king dear reader avoid both their society and their cult rather hear and obey the mandates of divine scripture if you learn and commit to memory the faith declared by bishop athanasius the things that i have recounted above will rightly appear meaningless to you post hec luidizi

that came to be known as the chronicle of wendland the original manuscript disappeared in 1856 but the chronicle survives in a copy and has been published a few times schultze wrote with the intention of preserving stories of the local events and people but he also wanted to preserve the language of the wends which at that time was dying out he wrote i have undertaken in this 1725th year to record something of the wendish language for posterity i am now 47 years old when i and three other people are gone from our village no one will likely know what a dog is called in wendish local slavic he

new moon and similar names in other slavic languages even the older polish miesi ąc which comes from the assumed měsęcь may perhaps be a diminutive of what of mies a possible miesic but there is no mies in slavic languages interestingly in finnish mies means a man or a husband in estonian we have mees and in livonian mīez could this be the source of the slavic miesi ąc and what about miecz sword certainly that also has male connotations the word for moon in finnish is ku same in estonian and livonian though the latter spelling may have been kū or kuu out of curiosity note that the word for sun in livonian was pǟva the polish paw peacock comes from latin pāvo in case you are wondering but here comes the interesting part the sun in slavic languages is famously neuter we have mentioned that in polesie the sun was sometimes nevertheless treated as the wife of the moon but without providing specific evidence it seems that this has been the case and was also a belief present in
