Abstract
Certain words that can be found in the Chakavian or Kajkavian dialects are very often considered to be a particularity of that dialect without the necessary verification of their use in the organic idioms of other Croatian dialects. This paper, based on specific examples, pays attention to those words that are common to both the Chakavian and Kajkavian organic idioms, i.e. the Chakavian and Shtokavian vernaculars, and the vernaculars of all three Croatian dialects. The work ends with the conclusion that this common basic Croatian lexis is substantial, but that so far, it has been insufficiently researched.
