Summary/Abstract: The article outlines the lexicographic treatment of the word-family based on the Czech word tartas and other expressions denoting noise and commotion in the emerging Dictionary of Czech Dialects. The author analyzes extensive material from dialectological sources and demonstrates the complexity of determining the boundary between an independent lexical unit and a phonological variant. Attention is also paid to the secondary meanings of individual words and to their geographical distribution. The paper contributes to dialect lexicography and etymology, while also highlighting the formal and semantic diversity of this group of expressions.
