Sažetak
Croatian linguist Radovan Vidović published his Pomorski rječnik in 1984. Within the vocabulary, mostly coastal and to a lesser extent maritime related terms dating of the period of sailing by oars and sails have been collected, while, on the other hand, recent terminology is lacking. In addition, the author doesn’t define neither maritime related nor coastal terms, but he mostly defines quotations which should clarify to the reader their respective meanings.The notions have been shown the way old Croatian writers used them who predominantly were not seafarers.Mostly the terms have been described by local non-qualified mariners who used local folkloristic terms. It doesn’t mean that they could exactly and precisely describe martime related terms of a sailing vessel. Vidović from time to time gave certain folk explanations and examples for one term and it is difficult for a reader to grasp exactly the meaning. Therefore, it might be much more appropriate to call it Contributions or Materials for coastal terms-not maritime related - colloquial dialectal terms.
Besides that, it is obvious that the author didn’t master maritime related terms. For example, he wanted to explain his own interpretation of the item triremis in Croatian troveslarka and he didn’t explain it in the most appropriate way in Vocabulary ‘ s Appendix. By mens of his misunderstanding of the question known as trirema question, he additionally confirmed his lack of knowledge of maritime related terms of large vessels of oars and sails.
Therefore, the reference to Pomorski rječnik as a unique source could not be considered to be scientifically supported.
