In the second part of the article, an example of the migration of Slavic tribes to the Balkans is intro- duced to show how the file with its large amount of data can be used: the collection of geographi- cal names allows, thanks to the information it contains, to create mappings, the results of which are important for the question of the routes by which Slavic tribes made their way south.

Geographical names are extremely helpful in giving evidence of early settlements and their inhabitants due to their solid anchorage in the landscape, even in the case of population changes. Through the investigation of these place names, information can be gathered not only on the name giver, but also on the settlers who took on the names later on. Therefore, it is considered that any linguistic investigation has to start from the river and place names of a region. The utilization of geographical names yields the following findings: - The centre of Old Slavic names is situated on the northern slope of the Carpathian Mountains, approximately between Bukovina and Krakow; it is based on a substrate of older, Indo-European hydronyms. - The expansion of the East Slavic tribes bypasses the Pripyat Marshes and extends further through Central Russia and especially to the North and the East. - West Slavic settlers reach their new settlement areas through migration from Bohemia and further on to Saxonia and Thuringia, and also through Western Poland to Brandenburg and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. - The migration of the South Slavs takes place in two big, yet separate flows, on the one hand through the Moravian Gate to Slovenia, Hungary and Croatia, and on the other hand on the Eastern edge of the Carpathian Mountains to Serbia and Bulgaria.

Celem artykułu jest próba analizy etymologicznej wybranych nazw wodnych, przede wszystkim rzecznych, powiązanych etymologicznie z praindoeuropejskim rdzeniem *h2engh-/*h2gh- ‘krzywić, kręcić, wić się’ wraz z podobnymi fonetycznie i semantycznie innymi rdzeniami, które zostały utrwalone w apelatywach i nazwach rzek na obszarze germańskim, bałtyckim i słowiańskim. Mogły one powstawać w okresie przemieszczania się słabo jeszcze zróżnicowanych językowo praindoeuropejskich grup etnicznych. Przedstawiono najbardziej prawdopodobne etymologie nazw rzek takich jak: Angerbach, Angelbach, Unkenbach, Węgorapa, Wągra, Wiar itp. na szerszym tle apelatywnym i proprialnym. Wykazano, że w sferze apelatywnej rdzeń *h2engh- i rdzenie podobne, np. *h2enk- ‘krzywy, wygięty’, *eng- ‘unikać, omijać, uchylać się, wykręcać się’ znajdują poświadczenia także w wyrazach pospolitych na terenach, gdzie używano języków słowiańskich, bałtyckich i germańskich, a także w grece i innych językach indoeuropejskich. W artykule przyjęto metodologie wypracowane w ramach strukturalizmu, wychodząc z założeń przyjętych na gruncie niemieckim, że stare nazwy wodne nie należą do żadnego ze współczesnych języków indoeuropejskich, zostały utworzone przed rozwojem historycznych języków poświadczonych na danym obszarze w pierwszym tysiącleciu n.e.

The article attempts to perform an etymological analysis of selected water names, mainly river names, etymologically related to the pre-Indo-European core *h2engh- /*h2gh- ‘curl, twist, wind’ and with other phonetically and semantically similar cores, e.g. *h2enk ‘to turn around, wind, bend’, *eng- ‘bypass’ etc. They were recorded in appellatives and river names in the Germanic, Baltic and Slavic territories. They could have been formed during the period of the movement of pre-Indo-European ethnic groups which were poorly linguistically differentiated. The article presents the most probable etymologies of the names of rivers such as: Angerbach, Angelbach, Unkenbach, Węgorapa, Wągra, Wiar etc. against a broader appellative and proprial background. It has been determined that in the appellative sphere, the core *h2engh- and similar cores, e.g. *h2enk- ‘crooked, bent’, *eng- ‘avoid, bypass, evade, twist’ are also found in common words in the areas were not only Slavic, Baltic and Germanic, but also Greek and other Indo-European languages were used. This article adopts methodologies developed within structuralism, based on the assumptions adopted in Germany that the old water names do not belong to any of the modern Indo-European languages and were created before the development of historical languages found in a given area in the first millennium AD.
