The article is devoted to a preliminary, exploring analysis of the geographical names from the area of the Commonwealth of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania functioning in the French language in the third quarter of the 18th century and registered in the famous Encyclopaedia of Diderot and d'Alembert (Encyclopédie, ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences, des arts et des métiers, 1751-1772). The material comes from the monograph by Maciej Forycki Chronografia Rzeczypospolitej szlacheckiej in Encyclopaedia of Diderot and d'Alembert, Poznan 2010.
The Supplement to „Classification of Anoikonyms“ by Vladimír Šmilauer The anoikonyms in Bohemia originated quite often from the Czech exonyms. While processing the Czech minor place names the semantic „Classification of anoikonyms“ by Vladimír Šmilauer (published in 1960 and with some supplements in 1973 again) is used, but they are not singled out independently. In the time of finishing this „Classification...“ the term „exonym“ was not known and used in Czech. Therefore it is necessary to include into Šmilauer’s „Classification...“ as an independent subsection of section 94 Czech minor place names, with eventual further dissections 941 for biblical geographical names, 942 for names linked with war events, and 943 for other Czech exonyms.
