===Vocabularies=== Two Prussian vocabularies are known. The older one by [[Simon Grunau]] (Simon Grunovius), a historian of the [[Teutonic Knights]], encompasses 100 words (in strongly varying versions). He also recorded an expression: {{lang|prg|sta nossen rickie, nossen rickie}} ('This (is) our lord, our lord'). The vocabulary is part of the ''{{lang|de|Preussische Chronik}}'' written {{circa|1517–1526}}.{{r|Trautmann1910|pages=XXV{{Hyphen}}XXVI}} The second one is the so-called Elbing Vocabulary, which consists of 802 thematically sorted words and their German equivalents. Peter Holcwesscher from [[Malbork|Marienburg]] copied the manuscript around 1400; the original dates from the beginning of the 14th or the end of the 13th century. It was found in 1825 by Fr Neumann among other manuscripts acquired by him from the heritage of the Elbing merchant A. Grübnau; it was thus dubbed the ''{{lang|la|Codex Neumannianus}}''.{{r|Klussis|page=7{{Hyphen}}8}}{{r|Schmalstieg|p=4}}
