Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the old Mari vocabulary appearing in school textbooks of the first half of the twentieth century. The rare and forgotten words were grouped into 24 thematic networks. They mainly have to do with the particularities of the political system and way of life, old utensils, currency and other obsolete objects and phenomena of the past. A number of those lexical units cannot be found in current lexicographical works, not even in the 10-volume dictionary of the Mari language.
