Attila T. Szabó was an excellent onomatologist; his scholarly career started with collecting toponyms. Throughout his life, he was considering publication of the historical place name material he had collected but, for political reasons, the possibility never arose. For a short time, then, he turned to studying personal names, especially historical nicknames; and after that, he began working on the monumental series of The Transylvanian Hungarian Historical Dictionary. Nevertheless, the publication of his data on historical place names, approximately a million items, was something he never totally gave up. Had it appeared in print, this huge Transylvanian historical place name material would have been very useful for the development of toponymy both in Hungary and in Romania. The manuscript collection that has survived among his posthumous papers will now be published by the Society of Hungarian Linguistics in some twelve volumes. The material of seven counties has already been published.

It has been recognised by scholars for some time now that -j, -aj/-ej is to be considered an obsolete Hungarian place name forming suffix; however, various uncertainties have arisen with respect to its origin and function. These uncertainties are reflected in the Hungarian-based etymological and morphological labels applied to such items occurring as place names still in use today in Lajos Kiss' An Etymological Dictionary of Geographical Names. More recently, it has been pointed out that the crucial factor in this issue might be a conversion, with no additional suffixation, of Slavic personal names ending in j into Hungarian place names. The present paper, considering obsolete place names as well as those in use today, comes to the following conclusions: 1. Derivational suffixes of Hungarian and of Slavic origin cannot be mistaken for one another since their differences go back to important onomastic, phonological, morphological, as well as territorial criteria. 2. The Hungarian suffix -j (-aj/-ej) goes back to Uralic/Finno-Ugric origins; its function was clearly possessive, without a component of diminutivity. 3. The Hungarian suffix is a specific product of early Old Hungarian (10 -13th century) place name formation. Its productivity came to an end relatively early on but the number of place names involving it and still recoverable today is substantial. The paper also raises some more general issues in historical onomatology, especially with respect to etymologies of proper names.

The aim of this paper is to give a taste of a multifarious world of names that have been linguistically unexplored so far. The author's further intention is to discuss the motivations of individual names, based on interviews conducted with rock climbers, on the basis of the aspectual and general onomatological analysis presented here. Another interesting area to investigate would be the names of rock climbers' paths in other languages described in a contrastive framework that could eventually lead on to the discovery of universals in naming rock climbers' paths.

This paper represents a section of a neglected area of onomatology: the research of names given to animals. It discusses special manners of animal naming, focusing on name giving in horse-breeding establishments. The general principles of horse name giving in Hungary are made clear first; then, the naming habits of Somogysard, a settlement in Southern Hungary are discussed in detail. From among her investigations of the body of names she collected, the author highlights a novel analysis of name semantics by way of which she circumscribes the notional areas that emerge from the meanings of the names and describes the semantic interrelations among the names discussed. The aim of the paper is to complement traditional onomatological research and compare it with a new way of analysing names, the conclusions of which may facilitate research on other types of names, as well.
