Schuster-Šewc, Heinz: The Place Names of Lusatia (Part II)
Lětopis Abstract 2009 2: Schuster-Šewc, Heinz: The Place Names of Lusatia (Part II)
This present paper is the continuation of the article published in Lětopis 55 (2008) 2, pp. 94–108, ‘Die Ortsnamen der Lausitz – Anmerkungen
zum Stand ihrer Erforschung’ (The Place Names of Lusatia – Notes on the Present State of Research). A further 25 Upper Sorbian and 26 Lower
Sorbian place names, as well as 5 additional waterways, not dealt with in previous research, are discussed and analysed from the point of view of
their meaning and formation. The article includes a list containing the surviving place names as examples, which identifies lexical root forms which
are no longer known in present day Upper and Lower Sorbian.
