In the first edition of the dictionary "silvir" is tagged explicitely as "Krim. Tatar.", cf. http://kpbc.umk.pl/Content/13038/Filologia_001_01_Tom_05.djvu?djvuopts=&page=Filologia_001_01_Tom_05_392_0001.djvu&zoom=300&showposition=0.72,0.45&highlight=1553,1819,315,36 In the very edition "ses" is tagged just with "Krim.", cf. http://kpbc.umk.pl/Content/13038/Filologia_001_01_Tom_05.djvu?djvuopts=&page=Filologia_001_01_Tom_05_547_0001.djvu&zoom=300&showposition=0.71,0.27&highlight=1738,2130,172,38 but because of the first occurence the meaning of "Crimean Tatars" seems more probable than that of "Crimean Gothic". On the other hand, as we have now only one word and only two candidate languages to consider, a suitable dictionary may definitely solve the problem. Unfortunately I was unable to locate any with Google. Best regards Janusz -- , dr hab. Janusz S. Bien, prof. UW - Uniwersytet Warszawski (Katedra Lingwistyki Formalnej) Prof. Janusz S.
