Abstracts

The presented study deals with a usage of secondary (synchronic) motivation of Slovak hydronyms - the hydronyms are motivated by contemporary oikonyms - and primary (diachronic) motivation, which means that the hydronyms are usually motivated by primeval Slavonic appellatives. The author analyzes some of the names that occurred in river basin of the river Vah. The names were motivated by primeval Slavonic lexical basis. From a synchronic point of view some watercourses are motivated by the names of the villages. However, from diachronic point of view there is an opposite motivation - a hydronym was created from the primeval Slavonic appellative and later the hydronym motivated the names of the villages surrounding the river. In the article author analyzes also the names motivated by the vegetation, character and temperature of water and so on.
