This two-part paper presents the theoretical assumptions, and gives an account of the current progress of a Slavistic appendix which is being prepared by the present author for an as yet unwritten Dictionary of Polish topolexemes, an attempt to inventory and describe the entire lexical deposit of potentially Proto-Slavic origin contained in Polish place and terrain names. The aim of this research is to determine, based on the varying degree of its preservation in the toponymy of different regions, the place where Proto-Slavic vocabulary was formed. The first part presents the history of research together with a criticism of previous attempts, and explains the main methodological rules, focusing on the reconstruction of words which are not attested in Polish as appellatives. It also discusses the state of the source base, and problems which arise during work with various types of Polish toponomastic sources.

This two-part paper presents the theoretical assumptions, and gives an account of the current progress of a Slavistic appendix which is being prepared by this author for an as yet unwritten “Dictionary of Polish toponyms”, an attempt to inventory and describe the entire lexical deposit of potentially Proto-Slavic origin contained in Polish place and terrain names. The aim of this research is to determine, based on the varying degree of its preservation in the toponymy of different regions, the place where Proto-Slavic vocabulary was formed. The second part briefly presents the current results (after the identification of ca. 400 potential words), and discusses the non-uniform distribution of rare specimens.

Artykuł, poza wprowadzeniem poświęconym zagadnieniom ogólnym ilustrowanym stosownymi przykładami, składa się z dwóch zasadniczych części. W pierwszej wzięto pod rozwagę fragment z piętnastowiecznej części kaliskich ksiąg ziemskich, znany od 1922 r. dzięki S. Kozierowskiemu. Zawartą w nim formę graficzną interpretowano dotąd jako nazwę własną. Szczegółowa analiza tekstu nie pozostawia jednak większych wątpliwości, że mamy tu staropolską glosę wynikā oddającą bezpośrednio poprzedzające łacińskie ex(s)ilit ‘poczyna się (o rzece)’, zatem w znaczeniu poza tym nie zaświadczonym dla tego czasownika w polszczyźnie. Część druga poświęcona jest głównie analizie północnopolskiej nazwy miejscowej Wąbrzeźno. Wysunięto w niej sugestię, iż nazwa pochodzi od szczątkowo udokumentowanego dawnego słowiańskiego terminu topograficznego *ǫbergъ ‘dolina’, zachowanego w warstwie apelatywnej jedynie w przebudowanym formalnie ukraińskim gwarowym uberezʹ ‘ts.’. Krakowscy historycy sugerowali, że podobny apelatyw wąbrzeżek zapisano we fragmencie miejscowych ksiąg ziemskich pochodzącym z 1429 r. Jednak według leksykografów opracowujących „Słownik staropolski” odpowiedni passus brzmi , co w takiej sytuacji należałoby interpretować jako mikrotoponim. Problem wymaga zatem ostatecznego wyjaśnienia metodami ściśle filologicznymi.

The article, apart from an introduction devoted to the general issues illustrated with pertinent examples, consists of two main parts. In the first one, attention is drawn to the passage (Acta terrestria from the Kalisz area, Greater Poland, 15th century) known since 1922. Its was formerly interpreted as a proper name. However, a thorough analysis of the text leaves little doubt that this is an Old Polish gloss “wynikā” translating the preceding Latin ex(s)ilit ‘begins (of a river)’, thus a meaning otherwise unattested for this verb in Polish. The second part is devoted mainly to the etymology of the place name “Wąbrzeźno” (Northern Poland). It is suggested that the name derives from an almost fully extinct Ancient Slavic term *ǫbergъ ‘valley’, retained at the appellative level only in the somewhat remodeled formally dialectal Ukrainian appellative uberezʹ ‘id.’. There were some suggestions made by Cracow historians that a similar topographic term “wąbrzeżek” shows up in a passage from the local “Acta terrestrial” dating from 1429. However, according to lexicographers compiling “The dictionary of Old Polish” the respective passage of the source text reads as , which instead should be interpreted as a microtoponym. Thus, the problem needs further philological elucidation.

The paper discusses a set of likely related Polish geographical names: Przerośl(e) ~ Przyrośl(e). It is assumed that a topographic appellative, based evidently on the participle *perorslъ ʽovergrown’ underlies most of them, but the existing reconstructions of the semantics of the latter cannot be regarded as satisfactory. It is shown that przerośl(a), referring to an unspecified part of a lake near contemporary Złotów, is attested directly as an appellative in a North Polish source from the beginning of the 17th century, although unfortunately in a context which does not reveal its precise meaning. As a considerable percentage of these names refer to lakes or parts thereof, a new hypothesis is put forward, according to which the basic North Slavic meaning of the term was ʽlake bay of prolonged shape’ (Northern Poland) and ʽoxbow lake’ (Southern Poland). In South Slavic, on the contrary, reflexes of the same etymological structure *perorslь have developed the specific meaning ʽspecifically shaped rock, called natural bridge’.

The paper is devoted to the origin of a set of supposedly related Polish place names pointing to a Slavic proto-form *žьgъrʹь. Its main results can be summarized as follows:- The supposed topographic appellative is preserved in four to seven Polish, place or terrain names in Central and Northern Poland. Its precise meaning and etymology is not quite clear.- Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that a derivative of this rare word was preserved in Montenegro as žàgrica ʽslope’, the exact proto-form of which, however, cannot be established with certainty for the moment. The Slovak place name Žehra could be related as well.- An etymology is considered which attaches *žьgъrʹь < *giguri̯a- to the reduplicated root contained, e.g., in Old Indic jígāti.- The name of a ford on the Orzyc river (northeastern Poland), attested in the middle 14th century as Old Prussian Zingurbrast and Old Polish Żgierz should be considered rather as an originally Slavic (Proto- or Old Polish) toponym.
