The article analyzes the semantics and origins of the words olbrim and obdenkovatʹ . In the Russian language of the age of Peter the Great, the noun olbrim (cf. Belorussian olbrim , obrim ; Ukrainian olbrym < Polish olbrzym , obrzym < Greek ὄβρῐμος ) was used in the meaning of ‘giant’ and the verb obdenkovatʹ (German abdanken ; cf. Polish abdankowac ) in meaning of ‘to resign.’ The second part of the article analyzes the sense of three contexts in which incorrect interpretation caused several inaccuracies in The Dictionary of the 18th-century Russian Language related to variants of the word olbrim , the semantics of the verb gomonitʹ, and the date of the initial appearance of the borrowed word distrakcija .
