THE KURNAT GAJETA – THE HOLY BOAT

Vladimir Skračić ; Filozofski fakultet Sveučilišta u Zadru

Sažetak

This work has been an attempt to reviaw, emotionally and expertly, a fraction of Adriatic heritage and the Čakavian lexis which is disappearing. It is about the gajeta (half-decked one-masted fishing boat), a wooden boat which was used for centuries by the islanders in the Šibenik-Zadar archipelago, especially on the island of Murter. It was a vessel of unique structure: not light or heavy, used for fishing and for transport of goods, open and closed, easy to manipulate and start. It was a multipurpose vessel – an omnibus boat, various boats in one.
This wooden boat and its equipment have its specific lexis, characterised by loanwords from Roman languages, especially Venetian. However, this lexis has been entirely integrated into the Čakavian system. Except for the form of the glossary, this lexis has been considerably listed and used in the context of two poems by the Murter poet Ivo Šikić – Balara. This is why they follow the article.
