The stream of the authoress' reminiscences includes persons participating in onomastic works, and also important scholarly events in which she participated (conferences, congresses, sessions).

The article belongs to a cycle of works dedicated to reconstruction of the lexicon of extinct Slavic dialects of Western Pomerania (Germ. Hinterpommern). Another article from this series appeared in 'Onomastica' vol. 48. In the current text the authoress presents terrain names from appellative names of trees: 1) olsza, olszyna, olszka 'Alnus' and 2) osa, oska 'Populus tremula'. An important part of the article are two small maps showing the frequency of terrain names from the area of Western Pomerania cited in the text. Characteristic is the larger number of these names in the eastern part, which was Germanized later (18th-20th centuries) and the small number of them in the western part, Germanized the earliest (in the 15th-16th centuries).

The goal of the article is the reconstruction of a fragment of the Pomeranian lexicon on the basis of German recording of terrain names of Slavic etymology. Presented here are terrain names created from the words brzoza (birch) (Pomeranian breza||broza), buk (beech) and dab (oak), as well as from the word dabrowa 'a forest primarily of oaks' that is, from three popular names of deciduous trees. A list of the original inscriptions and their interpretation is supplemented by two maps, on which the distribution of the names under discussion in Western Pomerania is indicated. Terrain names of Pomeranian (Slavic) origin are markedly more numerous in the eastern part of the region, which from a linguistic viewpoint neighbours on Kashubian dialects. This fact is connected with the significantly earlier Germanization of the western part of Pomerania (15th-16th centuries) and the later (comparatively: 17th-18th-19th centuries) Germanization of the eastern part. We find place names based on breza||broza, buk, dab i dabrowa in Western Pomerania significantly less often than terrain names.

In onymia treated as a whole, that is, the set of all groups and categories of proper names in a given country, one can observe two parallel tendencies: 1) processes tending to give onymia an international character, 2) maintaining a local indigenous autonomy of proper names. The second tendency predominates in many categories of proper names; these are, in particular, names that developed long ago, traditional names. The processes of globalization are observed in Poland and other Slavic countries primarily in names of new commercial objects and companies, and in Internet names: nicks and rooms. A relatively small percentage of given names participates in the most recent wave of globalization. True globalization of given names did occur in the past, during the expansion of Christianity.

The article is a part of the cycle of works presenting the vocabulary on the basis of which the territorial names were created in Pomorze Zachodnie before the germanization of these territories. The works are based on the materials from the Vocabulary of Former Pomeranian Territorial Names of the Western Pomerania (Słownik dawnych pomorskich nazw terenowych z Pomorza Zachodniego). The article presents a list of concrete names of the bases of ostrów (island), osuch (a higher location at the field or a meadow, etc.), okól (a turn of the river or a meadow or a field above the river's turn), e.g. Wustrowk, Wussuschke, Wokoll and their location on the map. The base of ostrów is the archaism which lives in Kashubian dialects, osuch and okól are Kashubian innovations, which in the past - as proved by the territorial names formed on the basis thereof - also reached the eastern part of Pomorze Zachodnie (Western Pomerania).
