Writing upperand lower letterat the beginning of the word is one of the key orthographic problem in Croatian. The two main goals of this research are: 1 to determine whether there are frequent mistakes in writing upperand lower letter in ktetics (adjectives derived from geographic names)in corpus texts, 2 to use corpus tools (regular expressions) for orthographic analysis.Ac-cording to [1: 112] upper and lower lettererrors are defined as spelling errors and can be counted in one of the most common types of orthographic errors in Croatian.The emphasis will be on ktetics as components of various types of MWUs in which the orthographic rulesprescribe a lowerinitial letter.Based on the corpus hrWaC 2.2 (using the Sketch Engine platform), the degree of devia-tion in the initial letterwriting will be determined with regard to the meaning of the individual MWUs.The analysis includes four MWUs that denote different contents, in which the first component is ktetic ; zagrebačka katedrala‘lit. Za-grebiancathedral, Eng.Zagreb cathedral’ (sacralobject), osječko sveučilište‘lit. Osijekian University, Eng.University of Osijek’ (official institution), sibirski haski‘Siberian Husky’ (dog breed), and bečki odrezak‘Wiener schnitzel’ (types of steak). Given the results obtained, the conclusion will cover both: the types of corpus sources within which orthographic errorsare most commonly as well as the possible causes of such errors.The research was made for thepro-ject Rječnik velikoga i maloga početnog slova‘Dictionary of upperand lower initial letter’ which is being developed at the Institute ofCroatian Language and Linguisticsin Zagreb.
