Lietuvių kalbos žodynas VI, Lithuanian Dictionary Volume VI, Klausyti-Kvunkinti. LIETUVIU KALBOS ŽODYNAS [Dictionary of the Lithuanian Language] is the largest work of twentieth-century Lithuanian linguistics. The idea of the Dictionary was conceived (and its compilation begun) by the eminent Lithuanian philologist Kazimieras Buga at the turn of the twentieth century. Since then several generations of lexicographers of the Institute of the Lithuanian Language have been engaged in the preparation of its twenty volumes for six decades (published between 1941 and 2002). The Dictionary aims to give the words and illustrate their usage by quotations culled from all kinds of writings and dialect records from the period between the year 1547, i.e. the publication of the first Lithuanian book, and 2001.
