This article deals with the issue of form of an inscription on one of the precious gold-coated plaques from archaeological site in the village Bojná representing the original Slavic settlement from Great Moravian period, i.e. from the time of Principality of Nitra. P. Žigo interprets this inscription as a Glagolitic and sees in it an initial abbreviation of the first verse of 24th David’s Psalm. The author of this article comments this interpretation polemically relying on objective arguments from the view of textual criticism, historical grammar and palaeography. Together he introduces five fundamental problems of P. Žigo’s interpretation. The author points out two problems within text-critical notes. The first one is the discordance of the word order of discussed interpretation of the first verse of psalm in comparison to the word order of the same verse preserved in the monument known as Sinai Psalter. The second problem is an incorrect reading of the preposition at the beginning of that verse in photo type cutting from this Glagolitic monument. Historical-grammatical notes concern the problem of an incorrect grammatical form in case of use the structure „directional verb + preposition v + local“ to express the meaning of direction. The last two problems consist in an incorrect interpretation of palaeographic characteristics of the two expected Glagolitic grapheme characters. The author states that the interpretation of P. Žigo cannot be accepted based on the reasons listed above.
