Abstract
This article presents a unique glossary of Northern Talishi, based on field materials collected in the early 1980s in the Masalon (Masally) and Lik (Lerik) districts of the Azerbaijan SSR. The rediscovered notes, preserved in a Soviet-era notebook, contain lexical items—a considerable part of them unattested in other sources—recorded during a short trip undertaken in the company of Fakhraddin Aboszoda, a native of Lerik and a close friend of the author. Beyond their linguistic value, these materials bear witness to a vanished era, when the Talishi homeland was still accessible for fieldwork, and thus acquire the character of a cultural and historical document. The glossary is presented largely in its original form, organised under thematic categories, such as “Water”, “Mountain, Stone”, “Natural Phenomena”, “Forest and Plants”, and others, without extensive etymological commentaries, though with occasional notes of particular significance. The introductory section highlights several phonetic features that distinguish Northern Talishi within the South Caspian–Aturpatakan dialect continuum, including characteristic vowel developments and the loss of resonant consonants. By making these materials available, the article contributes to Iranian dialectology and lexicology, while also serving as a commemoration of Fakhraddin Aboszoda, whose oral accounts supplied a big portion of the recorded lexicon.
