Abstract
This paper analyzes Hungarian–Croatian equivalents in Vrancic’s dictionary. It concludes that Vrancic did not know the Croatian equivalents of some of the Latin words, so he created new words on the pattern of the corresponding Hungarian lexemes. His expressions can be classified as various types of loanshifts. It is only his loan translations that prove to be correct, his suggestions are usually wrong either in semantic or functional aspects. The given examples also cast light on the fact that Vrancic is confident, he does not hesitate to create new words and he is ready to ignore some of the rules of word formation as well.
