Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses the extent to which the verbs davati and primati and their derivatives as basic constituents of bilaterally binding relations are formally represented in Croatian legal terminology. The relation of these verbs to the fundamental terms vjerovnik and dužnik is emphasized. The origin of these terms in Croatian Legal terminology is established, and a span of cases reviewed in which these higher order terms (hyperonyms) are practically replaced by other lower-level terms (hyponyms).
