In an article published recently, Oleg Delendik draws attention to the fact that in an Ukrainian version of the New Testament which appeared in 2003, the form 'Krestitel' (Baptist) was replaced by 'Khristitel' and claims that the latter form is more adequate than the former. The purpose of the present article is to explain how the difference between 'Krestitel' and Khristitel' arose. Russian'krest', which comes from Old Church Slavonic, is not derived directly from Greek 'Khristos' but penetrated into the Old Church Slavonic trought the medium of Old High German 'Krist', whereas Khristitel' is a more recent form, influenced by Greek 'Khristos'.

In the late fifties, the present writer came to the conclusion that, in all languages of the world, the form of words depends not on two but on three basic factors: regular sound change, analogical change, and irregular sound change due to frequency. The latter implies that very frequently used morphemes, words, or word groups often undergo irregular reductions: *hval-it' - hval-i, *gospodja - gospa, *staru jemu - staremu. There are six arguments which can be mentioned in favour of the theory of irregular sound change due to frequency.

According to J.H.W. Penney, there are three views on the difference between Tocharian B päst and pest 'away': (1) Pest is stressed and päst unstressed. (2) Päst - *pe-sth2-u and pest - *po-sth2-u. (3) -We are dealing with a vowel which began as something that could be written as 'e' but was not identical to the 'e' that survived intact, and which at the time of the reordering of the Tocharian B vowel system shifted to fill the slot left vacant by the move of earlier stressed 'ä' to 'a' -. The present writer believes that päst is the basic form, while pest arose by what he calls irregular sound change due to frequency.

The aim of this contribution is to give on overview of the different conceptions regarding the etymology of Lusitanian word 'Reve'. In Lusitanian, the name of a god is attested nine times in the dative singular 'Reve'. There are different opinions on the etymology of this theonym. According to F. Villar, Lus. 'Reve' = Lat. 'Rivus'. K.T. Witczak believes that the god in question is an exact equivalent of Greek Zeus and Roman Iupiter (i.e. 'Reve' < *diu-ei or *dyeu-ei) and claims that in Lusitanian *d > r. But F. Vilar and R. Pederero enumerate many place names with d unaltered. According to the present author, the initial consonant in 'Reve' is to be accounted for by what he calls irregular sound change due to frequency.

The aim of the article is to comment on the difference between proper names and appelatives. The method consists in an analysis of the language data excerpted from French newspapaer Figaro. According to a widespread opinion, which arose in antiquity, the difference between a proper name and an appellative consists in the fact that the proper name refers to one object or one individual, whereas the common name refers to many objects or individuals. However, all first names, surnames and ethnonyms as well as some geographical names refer to many individuals or objects. The present writer claims that, in reality, the difference consists in the fact that, in about 96% of the cases, the proper name is not translated from one language into another, cf. Eng.'town' and Fr. 'ville', but Eng. 'Brussels' and Fr. 'Bruxelles'.
