Abstract

The paper deals with the readings in modern Croatian standard language of those inflective words in Judita that bare additional historical linguistic and dialectological information. After excerpting and interpretative reading of the examples, the data in this work have been classified in two ways: into four ranks according to belonging to the Croatian language (general language, Old Čakavian, Štokavian-Čakavian, and the rank of personal author's morphological creations conditioned by versification sake) that M. Marulić might have used and within seven grammatical categories of declinable words.
