The article deals with the reconstruction of the form and meaning of the Old Czech equivalent of the Latin term neomon preserved in Claret’s Glossarium in the form znaczie. Taking into account its word-forming structure and interpreting orthography of the written form, the form sňáčě – Claret’s abbreviation of the non-attested noun *sviňáčě – is discussed.

The oldest Czech words from the 13th century include among others a lgal term potejdych (derived from the Middle German bandteiding ,judicial proceeding’); it leaves totally later. It is used as an equivalent of the Middle Latin iudicium maius. We define it as a iudicial power for judging of the crimes heard at the appointed day.

There are several obscure Old Czech words beginning with ri-/ři-/ry- and ending with –čník, and it is not easy to identify both their original form and their meaning. Three of them are analysed in this paper: the noun written in the 13th century as ricznik can be understood as řiečník – ‘supervisor of river wood-shipping’; the noun ryčník used in the knightly tale Duke Ernest should be removed from dictionaries and understood as ručník – ‘player of the string instrument hold in the hand’ (cf. Old German hande seitenspil and Old Czech ručnicě ‘nablum, cithara etc.’), a word which appears also in the Klaret’s dictionary (so far interpreted as a ‘towel’ there). The word ručník is polysemic, it means – beside other things – also a carriage drawn by people, not by animals (it is a translation of the Latin biblical raeda).

Annalistic oikonymy as a source for reconstruction of the Old Russian vocabularyAmong about 1,000 place names mentioned in the Old Russian chronicles (within the borders of contemporary Russia), there are 19 ones that are derived from stems non-attested as apellatives in the Old Russian written sources. The vast majority of them can be reconstructed by comparison with words of modern East Slavic languages or their dialects, but several are not known in the East Slavic zone, and have parallels in the West and (or) South Slavic languages only. Almost all of these words are geographical terms. The places in whose names they are preserved are located mostly in Novgorod Ruthenia and the Upper and Middle Volga basin. Ojkonimia latopisów jako źródło dla rekonstrukcji słownictwa języka staroruskiegoWśród około 1000 nazw miejscowych wymienionych w staroruskich kronikach (w granicach dzisiejszego państwa rosyjskiego) jest 19 pochodzących od podstaw, które nie są apelatywnie poświadczone w źródłach staroruskich. Zdecydowaną większość z nich można zrekonstruować na podstawie wyrazów należących do zasobu leksykalnego współczesnych języków wschodniosłowiańskich lub ich dialektów, ale kilka z nich ma analogie tylko w językach zachodnio- i południowosłowiańskich. Prawie wszystkie te słowa są terminami topograficznymi. Miejsca, w których nazwy są zachowane, znajdują się głównie w Rusi Nowogrodzkiej i dorzeczu Górnej i Środkowej Wołgi.
