RECONSTRUCTION OF PROTO-SLAVONIC VOCABULARY (SOME ADDITIONS TO ÈSSÂ AND SP)

The paper is devoted to filling out some lacunae in the rosters in the dictionaries of Proto-Slavonic vocabulary, i.e. the etymological dictionaries, intended: а) to single out and describe Proto-Slavonic lexical heritage in ancient and modern Slavonic languages; b) to figure out genesis of Proto-Slavonic words through defining their relationships to Indo-European cognates. Suggested paper sets the goal to slightly expand the corpus of Proto-Slavonic vocabulary, reconstructed in ÈSSÂ and SP. Achieving this goal involves addressing two objectives: 1) to fill out some lacunae in the known corpus of Proto-Slavonic lexemes; 2) to clarify (expand) geography of already reconstructed prototypes by introducing data of the languages, not counted during the etymologization. All the facts which are not counted in the dictionaries of Proto-Slavonic lexical reconstruction should be collected into a single corpus of additions for etymologies already known from ÈSSÂ and SP. Its building is a task for the future, therefore preparatory work on accumulation of the data will not lose relevance over a long period of time. The object of proposed study is inherited appellative and onomastic vocabulary are not involved in the analysis in ÈSSÂ and SP; this lexemes can be qualified as Proto-Slavonic heritage either because their morphological archaics or areals characteristics. The subject — etymological, phonetic, morphological, lexico-semantic features and the areal of historically attested words and reconstructed while the analysis prototypes. The results of the study: 1) the sum of ancient lexemes, which presumably belonged to Proto-Slavonic vocabulary, got etymological interpretation (*bajьkъjь, *bebrišь (*bebryšь?), *bezmǫdъjь, *bezudъ, *bukodьra, *čekolsъ, *ęmъlva, *gъlgati, *xlebezъ, *xręstь, -i, *konobylь, *koroborъ etc.); 2) it is clarified (expanded) geography of the reflexes of the prototypes early restored in the special literature; they represent the isoglosses of complex configuration. Conclusions summarize the results of the reconstruction of the Proto-Slavonic vocabulary elements, generalizing the achievements of the procedure of the reconstruction and the etymological interpretation of the material. Prospects for further research are obvious: it is necessary to continue forming the corpus of the etymologies (versions) for expansion of the roster of presupposed Proto-Slavonic words.
