- Abstract
The analysis of graphics from Simonas Daukantas' Žodrodys (1838) as well as Lithuanian headlines from Epitome Historiae Sacrae and respective rules from Daukantas' textbooks Prasmą łotinû kałbos (1837) and Abecieła lîjtuwiû-kalnienû ir źiamajtiû kałbos (1842) is based on the descriptive method and comparison with the theory. The article analysis the use of compound graphemes <é>, <è>, <ê>, <ë>, <ē> in Simonas Daukantas' Žodrodyje toie kningelieie essontiu żodiù published in 1838 in St. Petersburg. It has established that this work includes more cases of the usage of the said graphemes than it is stipulated by Daukantas' rule. A lower number of graphemes -- only <è>, <é> -- was used in the Lithuanian headlines of Epitome Historiae Sacrae issued alongside with Žodrodys in the same publication. The graphemes most often denoted long and short sounds [e·], [ĕ], their dialectic variants. This use of graphics shows the early stage of the development of orthography by Daukantas, especially the particularities of spelling the printed lexis. The orthography was also impacted by multifaceted tradition of spelling compound graphemes taken over from writings originating in Lithuania Minor and written by Mikalojus Daukša and Daukantas.
