This article analyzes the origin of seven lexemes that are found in Čakavian dialects. They are not part of standard Croatian and so far they have not been discussed in the literature on Slavic etymology. The lexemes that are analyzed include grȍbja ‘a pile of stones’ (from Common Slavic *grobja ‘ditch, embankment, knoll’); madlȅt ‘to become darker’ i madlȉti ‘to become pale or weaker’ (from Common Slavic *mъdъlěti ‘become weak, helpless, feeble, faint, weaken’); mājȅt se ‘to become darker, make one’s head swim, feel dizzy’ (from Common Slavic *majati ‘wave (e.g. a hand); brandish’); plât ‘canvas, canvas fabric, thigh’ (from Common Slavic *platъ ‘a piece of fabric, canvas’); plátiti ‘to split, to open something’ (in Standard Croatian only the prefixed form rasplátiti ‘to split, to slit’ is found; the related form in Common Slavic is *platati ‘cut up into pieces or slices’); prȉlo adi. n. ‘turbid, rotten, decaying’ (a Common Slavic relic *p(ь)rěti ‘to be exposed to moisture and heat, chafe, deteriorate, rot’); skūlȉt ‘cry, moan’ (< psł. *skoliti ‘bark, howl, whine’).
