Noun
[edit]гѫсли • (gǫsli) f
- gusle, gusli
- from the Homily against the Bogumils:
- ко бо сꙋть хрстїане. аще со гꙋсльми и плесканїемь. и пѣсньми бѣсовскꙑми вино пїют и срѧщамъ и сномь. и всѧкомꙋ оученїю сотонинꙋ вѣрꙋють.
- ko bo sutĭ xrstiane. ašte so guslĭmi i pleskanijemĭ. i pěsnĭmi běsovskymi vino pijut i sręštamŭ i snomĭ. i vsękomu učeniju sotoninu věrujutĭ.
- They are therefore not Christians: if they drink wine while playing the gusli and perform demonic chants and dances, or if they believe in the fates, in dreams and in any of the teachings of Satan.
- from the Homily against the Bogumils:
- (plural only) stringed instrument
