Az apát lexéma megjelenése a garamszentbenedeki apátság birtokainak nevében by Melinda Szőke

“…The author examines toponyms that reflect ecclesiastical possession: the observed names were either derived from the lexeme apát ‘abbot’, or their changes involved the appearance of the same lexeme in the name forms. Collecting and analysing place names that indicated territories owned by the same proprietor has thrown light on so far hidden connections among toponyms: the names of the possessions that belonged to Garamszentbenedek Abbey raise the possibility that the distinctive additions also ‘lower’ and felső ‘upper’, for instance, were used not only to identify the two ends of a formerly single settlement after these parts became independent habitations, but also to eliminate homonymy. …”

“…With the help of this dictionary containing Old Hungarian data of settlement names developed from ethnic names, one can easily survey the historical records connected to different ethnic names, whose observation might induce further analyses or might raise questions to be answered. In case of some words (avar, polyák ~ polyán, komán, román, etc.), however, the explanation based on their origin in Hungarian ethnic names is dubious, but, with the help of toponymic and anthroponymic data of ethnonyms, the history of ethnic names can also be reconstructed in an authentic way. …”
