Two Common Verbs with Uncommon Meanings in the Old Bulgarian “Zlatostruy“ The article discusses two rare uses of the verbs žiti + instr. (‘to live’, here – ‘to use’) and tǫžiti (‘to be sad’, here – ‘to demand back’) in the long version of the Old Bulgarian Chrysorrhoas Collection (Zlatostruy). Although we cannot rule out the possibility of a scribal error, there are strong indications that these verbs had a wider range of meanings, some of which were isolated or obsolete.
