In addition, the texts and translations of previously found birchbark letters were corrected. The corpus includes such new words as ѣздець ('rider'), шида ('silk'), немочи ('to be ill'), крута ('dowry'). Such common words as огородъ (garden), капуста (cabbage), боꙗринъ (boyar) were also encountered for the first time in the new documents.
