Each entry is composed of 12 chapters devoted to onomastics and onymy in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia; attention is paid to onymy of the Slavs in Germany, too. SOE contains parts that discuss various onomastic issues (history, theory, terminology, etymology, anthroponymy, toponymy, chrematonymy, language contacts etc.).
