The authoress deals with the appellative 'bratr' (brother) and its derivatives in Czech minor place names, both in terms of their word formation and motivation background. The application of the word 'bratr' in minor place names provides some illustration of family and property relationships, it may commemorate (mostly tragic) past events or it may be used by way of metaphor to identify objects similar in shape or otherwise related. The appellative 'bratr' gives insight also into the spiritual history of the Czech lands - namely the activities of Czech evangelical Churches, which bear the word 'bratr' in their names.

'Mohyly' (Barrows) is probably the best known poem of the 20th century Czech poet Josef Kostohryz (1907-1987) - and also one of his longest, involving a large variety of motifs and themes, different levels of reality and spatiotemporal settings. The use of a wide range of names identifying various human and mythological beings, places or events provides tools for creating a very specific poetic world, as well as for its later reconstruction. The names used in the poem can also suggest some moments of the poet's own biography in a wider context of the 20th century history.
