Obsolescence

[Maryna Vinarska]

I have a feeling that in Ukraine it is also still in use, but it may be the result of my working side by side with doctors for several years. Maybe this is where I heard it.
"Trubka ty klistirnaja" is still widely used, but this time I don't recall where it is from.

Dear colleagues,

I have an unusual question I would love answered.  I am trying to  
establish, generally speaking, when the word "klistir" became  
obsolete and was replaced by "klizma."  Dal' (1881) defines the first  
vaguely as "promyvatel'noe" and does not list the second.  A four- 
volume dictionary published by the Academy of Sciences in 1958 lists  
"klistir" as obsolete.  I don't have access to a dictionary published  
before 1958, but, if anyone out there does, I would love to know what  
was happening with these terms in the twenties and the thirties.

Many thanks in advance!

Janneke
