The question arises whether a comparison with a modern Slovak dictionary is possible at all. For this to be the case, there would have to be a certain linguistic continuity back to the late Middle Ages.
In the 15th century, the territory of today's Slovakia belonged to the Kingdom of Hungary. The Kingdom of Hungary was ruled by King Sigismund of Luxembourg from 1382 to 1437. Among other languages, Middle Slovak ( in various dialects ) was spoken.
At that time, the Slovak language was written in Latin script. This means that the Latin alphabet was used to write down the Slovak language. The writing systems for Slavic languages based on the Cyrillic alphabet, such as those used further east, were not in use in the historical territory of present-day Slovakia at that time.
The development of a uniform orthography for the Slovak language began only in the 18th and 19th centuries ( see You are not allowed to view links.

It is therefore very questionable whether a comparison with a modern dictionary is permissible. This problem arises in principle with the use of modern dictionaries, but since the standardization of Slovak began at the earliest in the 18th century, one is simply too late here.
