vitsa

[John Dunn]

Zaliznjak's Grammaticheskij slovar' does not specify which dictionaries contain the words listed, but the source used for that work does.    According to Obratnyj slovar' russkogo jazyka (M., Sovetskaja entsiklopedija, 1974) вица is included in the17-volume dictionary.  I have to hand only the relevant volume of the second edition, where вица [vitsa] is defined as а гибкая ветка [gibkaja vetka].  I hope that helps.

Dear Russian speakers,

Zalizniak's backwards dictionary lists _vitsa_ (_vica_). What does it mean?

Spasibo zaranee,
