Summary/Abstract: In creating his dictionary, Lewicki relied on earlier lexicons of the Church Slavonic language. He also introduced new dictionary entries, including Hebrew volume/capacity units (ephah, hin, kab, kor, choenix). These units are found in the Bible. Lewicki, however, decided to use the conversion of units from the Talmud – the volume was converted into the number of chicken eggs. It is not clear why he chose such a conversion. Perhaps he considered it the most stable and unambiguous over the centuries.
