<div dir="ltr">As far as I have googled, this illegal dictionary is not related to any state-financed research. The "author" claims himself as a patron of the arts supporting the Votic community. He is mentioned with the title Sir on the first page, and the place of edition is "The Principality of Sealand". If you google Андрей Традерсон, you'll easily find an article about a Romanian citizen who changed a surname several times, was deported from Estonia, affiliates himself with an association of private detectives etc. Maybe he's just crazy?</div><br><div class="gmail_quote gmail_quote_container"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">ср, 17 июн. 2026 г. в 11:47, Johanna Laakso <<a href="mailto:johanna.laakso@univie.ac.at">johanna.laakso@univie.ac.at</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div>Dear all,<div><br></div><div>the Estonian Language Institute just sent out this information (below, in Estonian): as announced by some cultural organizations, a certain Andrei Traderson or Treiderson has published a new dictionary of Votic.

Tegemist on koopiaga, millel puudub autorite ja õiguste omaja luba teose väljaandmiseks, levitamiseks ning müügiks. Originaalteos („Vadja keele sõnaraamat“, 1824 lk) ilmus 2013. aastal Eesti Keele Instituudi kollektiivse väljaandena, keelematerjali kogumine ja käsikirja koostamine võttis aega üle poole sajandi.

Meie vanemleksikograaf ja keeleteadlane Jüri Viikberg on väljaandega tutvunud ja tema hinnangul on vargus ilmselge: “Kasutajate eksitamiseks on püütud jätta muljet, justkui oleks tegu kaheosalise teosega: eespool vene-vadja sõnastik ning seejärel vadja-eesti-vene sõnastik. Kasutatud on lihtlabast võtet – originaalteoses leiduv vene-vadja sõnaregister (lk 1624–1721) on tõstetud Tradersoni väljaande algusse ja sõnaregister on nimetatud ümber sõnastikuks.” Sõnaraamatust ja selle veebiversioonist on eemaldatud originaalteose tiitellehed.
