Summary/Abstract: The article gives an overview of the structure and semantics of subordinate clauses of time boundary with the conjunction (pirm) neg in Old Lithuanian writings (in texts of Bretkūnas’ Postilla (1591), Daukša’s Postilla (1599) and Sirvydas’ Punktai Sakymų (I – 1629, II – 1644)). In all these texts most popular are temporal clauses with the compound conjunction pirm neg (only the compound conjunction pirm neg is used in temporal clauses in Bretkūnas’ Postilla). The temporal clauses introduced by the single conjunction neg (no longer used in temporal clauses in Modern Lithuanian) are found in the texts by Daukša and Sirvydas.
