Abstract

Among the ethnographic works in Rev. Josip Lovretić’s rich bibliography, the monograph Otok stands out. Within the monograph is a precious record of folk holiday names and remembrance day names, as well as proverbs and sayings related to those days in the Slavonian village of Otok. Lovretić also mentions the names of certain days during the carnival period. In this paper, Lovretić’s material is compared with the compatible names, proverbs and sayings in the dialects of other Šokci Croats, including Šokci Croats in the Diaspora and in other Croatian dialects (Štokavian, Čakavian, and Kajkavian). Attention is drawn to a number of interesting coincidences.
