Summary/Abstract: In the manuscript Dictionary of the Votyak Language compiled by priest Stepan Sidorov in the Votyak village of Jelovo in October 1816 there is a list of about one thousand words. The lexical material of the manuscript is quite similar and at times analogous to that of the Grammar of the Votyak Language published in 1775 in Kazan. The graphic system and elements of spelling used in the dictionary are also identical with the graphics and spelling principles of that first grammar of Udmurt.
