| Summary: | <p><strong>ON THE ORIGIN OF LITHUANIAN COMPOUND PROPER NAMES WITH FIRST STEM <em>dal</em>-</strong></p><p><em>Summary</em></p><p>Lithuanian compound proper names with first element <em>dal</em>- (as well as place names derived from them) cannot contain an independent element <em>dal</em>- related to the word family of Lith. <em>dal-ià</em>, <em>dal-ýti</em>. Lithuanian onyms with first element <em>dal</em>- originated in two different ways: a) cases with second element ‑<em>mant</em>- arising through contamination of the originally unrelated proper names <em>Daũmantas </em>and <em>Dálmatas</em>; b) cases with second element ‑<em>ged</em>‑arising through folk etymology alteration of <em>dau‑ged</em>- as <em>dalg-ed</em>- (<em>vel sim</em>.). There are no other proper names with <em>dal</em>- that could be related to the root <em>dal</em>-. In some cases proper nouns with <em>dal</em>- can be incorrect renderings of <em>dau</em>- before [<em>g</em>] due to Slavic influence or, alternatively, they may be an irregular variant of <em>dol</em>- (for <em>dau</em>-). Lithuanian compound proper nouns with <em>dal</em>- are thus all secondary, having arisen through alteration of already existing proper nouns. The evidence of the other Baltic languages is entirely unclear. A thorough analysis of the writing tradition of Curonian personal names would be needed in order to test the possibility that Cur. <em>Dalbutt </em>contains the first element <em>dal</em>- to be related to Lith. <em>dal</em>-.</p> |
