How to use the Gazetteer

All entries in the gazetteer are in Lithuanian alphabetical order, but for this database has been converted into English alphabetical order. Additionally, an entry of two words is alphabetized as if it were one word, e.g. Naujoji Rūda is followed by Naujoji Ūta and Naujoji Vilnia. The Lithuanian names of that type are cross-referenced, e.g. Baltoji Ančia and Ančia, Baltoji and the comma breaks the sequence of the name. Alternative names, Lithuanian and foreign, are likewise cross-referenced. All names are followed by topographic descriptions, such as mst. In the entries of Lithuanian names these are preceded by a number (1, 2, 3, 3a, 3b, 44a, 34b, 4) indicating the stress pattern. Position is shown by reference to the "squares" of the map; these are designated by numbers and letters. The diagonal and the dash are used to indicate the position of a river or a lake in more than one square, e.g. Neris J/L8-M/O/R/S9-P10, Avilys O4/5.
