LEXICOGRAPHIC INCIDENTS. Do you know the word silje?
In the "Consolidated Dictionary of Modern Russian Vocabulary" there is only one index against this word-B, which denotes a "large" academic dictionary (in 17 volumes). Here is a dictionary entry: Silje, I, cf. Obl. The same as snare (in the 1st value). Grouse are caught a lot in swarms. This whole projectile consists of a tilted knot, to the end of which a hair snare is attached. S. Aks. Zap. ruzheyn. 4. Ferrets get caught in ushkany loops... and in silja, placed on grouse and partridges. Cherkas. Zap. okhotn. East Sib. P, 1.
