Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the predominantly etymological homonyms found in The Dictionary of the Lithuanian Language (LKŽ, LKŽe) and Jokūbas Brodovskis’ Dictionary, which originated due to the borrowing of words from other languages and which are not presented as homonyms in the dictionary entries. Certain borrowings become similar to the word in Lithuanian having a different meaning, but these words have a different origin and meaning and should therefore appear in different entries. The index of Jokūbas Brodovskis’ 18th century manuscript dictionary Lexicon Germanico=Lithvanicum et Lithvanico= Germanicum III published in 2009 also contains unseparated homonyms. The article provides new homonyms not available in LKŽ, LKŽe.
