Written monuments in old Prussian by Letas Palmaitis

“…Although the catechisms were compiled in Samland, their phonetic features differ from those fixed in the Prussian toponymy of Samland, which conform to the phonetic features of all other monuments of Old Prussian: in all monuments except the Catechisms, as well as in the toponymy, there is the letter o corresponding to Lithuanian uo, Latvian uō, while there are the letters ū, o in these instances in the Catechisms. Since there were successors of 1600 Yatvingians deported after 1283 in Samland, a question arises whether the Catechisms really represent the Old Prussian and not the Yatvingian language. …”
