Etymologies of the Moscow Oblast hydronym Osetr
https://doi.org/10.30515/0131-6141-2024-85-3-84-89
Abstract
The article presents three versions of the origin of the ancient Moscow Oblast hydronym Osetr based on the etymological method and the phonetic and word-formation structure analysis of the toponym. The use of the hydronym in extant written texts of the Russian language and cartographic sources is analysed. The study critically examines the folk and Baltic etymologies of the hydronym. The specific features of the functioning of hydronyms with the -str-stem in Slavic and non-Slavic toponymy were revealed. The paper substantiates the reliability of the Slavic origin of the hydronym Osetr.
