Abstracts

EN

The article discusses selected terrain names in the district of Lubawa. The microtoponyms gathered are hydronyms, hill names, names of forests, fields and meadows. The names in the group of hydronyms come usually from appellatives connected with water (stream, bog, current). All the names of hills are semantically motivated. Names of forests describe their location, size or kinds of trees. Most terrain names refer to fields and meadows because the district of Lubawa and adjacent districts are agricultural ones. The names are semantically connected with the type and colour of soil, location or condition of fields and meadows. In the collected material there are one-word names, two-word names and prepositional phrases, e.g. Biele, Młyńska Struga, Nad Zogą.
