Reexamining Latvian lake names ending in -eris, -ēris, and -ieris
This article discusses Latvian lake names ending in -eris, -Ä ris, and -ieris as names of possible Finnic origin. The article is an inventory of limnonyms â names of lakes and ponds â ending in -eris, -Ä ris, and -ieris, i.e. lake names in Latvia already earlier noted by linguists to be connected with Courland Livonian jÄ ra/jÅ ra (LiV järu) â lakeâ or Estonian järv â id.â . Limnonyms not mentioned in other studies in this context are also compil…

К вопросу типологии словарей карельского, вепсского, финского языков [Typology of Karelian, Vepsian and Finnish Dictionaries]
Typology of Karelian, Vepsian and Finnish Dictionaries The article is a theoretical review, which raises important aspects concerning Finnic lexicography. From the 19th century to the present, experience in compiling and publishing dictionaries representing the linguistic wealth of the genetically related Karelian, Vepsian, and Finnish languages has been accumulated in Russia at various stages. There is a predominance of translation-based diction…

Наименования игры типа Snow Snake (нырок) в уральских языках [Designations of games of the type Snow Snake in Uralic languages]
Designations of games of the type Snow Snake in Uralic languages Snow Snake is a general designation for a class of games in which darts or javelins are hurled along snow or ice in a competition to see whose dart will go the farthest. From a global perspective, this antique winter game is most common among the natives of North America and the Uralic peoples. Based on ethnographic and linguistic sources, the area of the game in Northern Eurasia is…
Семантика и этимология глаголов со значением ’говорить’ (на материале ливвиковского наречия карельского языка) [The Semantics and Etymology of Verbs with the Semantics of Speaking in the Livvi Dialect…
The Semantics and Etymology of Verbs with the Semantics of Speaking in the Livvi Dialect of the Karelian Language In recent years, the Karelian language has been actively studied from the point of view of various aspects: structural-syntactic, morphological-derivational, lexical-phraseological, diachronyetc. Such studies are relevant, since currently there is an active process of revitalization and popularization of Karelian language. The scienti…
Variation of the Glottal Stop /ʔ/ in South Estonian Lative Forms
One of the most striking features of South Estonian among other Finnic languages is the occurrence of the glottal stop /Ê / as a phoneme, which in modern VÃμro and Lutsi orthographies is represented by the letter q. While the other grammatical and lexical functions of /Ê / are shared amongst the South Estonian varieties, the distribution of the glottal stop in the lative forms varies across dialects, caused by the conservative nature of Lutsi and…
A Reassessment of the Adaptation of West Old Turkic Loanwords in Hungarian
The adaptation of West Old Turkic (WOT) loanwords into Hungarian is reevaluated in this work, with an emphasis on phonetic and phonological changes that occur during borrowing and the adaptation processes. Building on the previous work that measured phonetic distances using an improved Levenshtein distance algorithm, this study includes dataset adjustments and theoretical understanding of the different processes of borrowing and adaptation. The s…

Resultatives Grammaticalizing into Passives, Perfects and Past Tense Forms in Udmurt
The paper offers a novel analysis of deverbal, copulaless predicative forms derived with the suffix -(e)miÌ®n in Udmurt. These have commonly been referred to as resultative participles in the literature, but have also been analysed as predicates of passive constructions and as perfects. The main question was whether a uniform analysis can be provided. The objective was to investigate whether -(e)miÌ®n constructions show the same behaviour in 19th…
Названия ядовитых растений в удмуртском и других финно-пермских языках
The article explores the names of poisonous plants in Udmurt in comparison with several other Finno-Permic languages: Komi, Komi-Permyak, Mari, Erzya, Moksha, Finnish, and Karelian. The folk designations reviewed in the article denote two highly poisonous plants â hemlock (Conium L.) and hornapple (Datura L.). The two major objectives of the article are, first, to study the motivations for the plant designations and, second, to analyse their sema…
Удмуртские названия чистотела (Chelidonium L.) и их параллели в других финно-пермских языках [Udmurt Designations for Celandine (Chelidonium L.) and Their Parallels in Other Finno-Permic Languages]
The article deals with folk designations (phytonyms) that denote the plant celandine (Chelidonium L.) and its most widespread species, the greater celandine (Celidonium majus L.). The author reviews the designations attested in Udmurt and searches for their parallels in three other Finno-Permic languages, Komi-Permyak, Komi, and Finnish. The analysis includes motivations for the designations and their nominational characteristics as well as ethno…
Samoyedic Vowel Sequences and the Status of the Cluster *lk in Uralic
This paper takes up the issue concerning the representation of the Finno-Ugric cluster *lk in Samoyedic and its possible connection with Proto-Samoyedic vowel sequences. It has been proposed that the cluster *lk was lost in Pre-Proto-Samoyedic, which, at least in words containing a low vowel in the second syllable, would have led to the origination of a non-canonical type of vowel sequences containing a low vowel as the second component. This pro…

The Emergence of Hierarchical Alignment in Northern Khanty
This study investigates the morphosyntactic coding of core arguments in Northern Khanty, with a focus on the use of active/passive voice and subjective/objective conjugation. The goal is to offer a more detailed understanding of the coding patterns across dialects. To achieve this, I analyze corpus data from four Northern Khanty dialects: Obdorsk, Shuryshkary, Tegi, and Kazym Khanty, using a dataset of 4,320 transitive clauses from available corp…
Реалии в переводах финской прозы на коми язык (на материале произведений Л. Лаулаяйнэн) [Realia in Translations of Finnish Prose into Komi (Based on the Works of Leena Laulajainen)]
The paper deals with the analysis of ways of conveying realia in translations of Finnish prose into Komi. Realia are lexical units to be translated, which denote objects, concepts, or situations that may not exist in the practical experience of speaker of the language of translation. Being carriers of national flavor and having no dictionary correspondences in other languages, realia require a special approach to translation. The research materia…
Бесермянско-коми изоглоссы как свидетельство былых контактов между народами [Besermyan-Komi Isoglosses as Evidence for Past Contacts between Peoples]
This research is devoted to the study of linguistic elements present in Besermyan and Komi, but absent from Udmurt or most of its dialects. The Besermyan language has not been object of areal research to the present day. The purpose of the study is to identify and describe Besermyan-Komi isoglosses. In the course of our research, we revealed that those isoglosses were formed as a result of late secondary contacts of the Besermyans with a Komi pop…

Livonian Gradation
Gradation consists of regular alternations of strong and weak grades of stressed syllables (and corresponding stems and words) in inflected words. In Livonian, gradation concerns words having both a short nuclear vowel and a heavy coda in the first syllable of strong-grade forms. A heavy coda is produced with the broken tone or it contains a phonetically half-long or full-long vowel or consonant in syllables with the plain tone. In weak-grade for…
Death of a Demonstrative
Demonstratives comprise different systems in different Estonian dialect areas. The number of demonstrative pronouns in these systems ranges from one to three. The general tendency seems to be a decrease in the number of demonstrative pronouns in all dialectal varieties. The present article analyses the disintegration of two demonstrative systems. The article will first discuss the transformation of the South Estonian three-term demonstrative syst…
On the Phonological Role of Stress, Quantity, and Stød in Livonian
Any phonological transcription besides reflecting all the relevant distinctions proper to a language must also grant the possibility of the most meaningful description of its productive morphological processes.Proceeding from this demand the problems connected with the phonological transcription of the complicated quantity system and sted are crucial for Livonian.Unfortunately, not quite enough is known about Livonian sted whose characteristic li…
Livonian and Leivu
Livonian and Leivu South Estonian, both spoken in Latvia, have a common word stem in the name of their language and people, and several phonetic innovations. In this article, the traditional Estonian-based etymology of the Estonian-based name of Livonians and Leivus and their language is refuted. The common stem comes probably from an unattested Old Norse name given for Livonia by the Scandinavians, and was later borrowed into Livonian and Leivu …
Survey of Previous Research on Livonian Prosody; 23-28
Livonian prosody is unique among the Uralic languages in that it contrasts short and long monophthongs, diphthongs, and triphthongs, prevocalic single and geminate consonants and word-final short and long consonants, word-final short and long consonants, and lexical tones. Studies on Livonian prosody have been written German, Finnish, English, and Estonian. Here a short survey of previous research and discussion on tone is presented

Quantity in Livonian
The paper describes work done up to now with Livonian, the southernmost Finnic language. The study proceeds within the framework of the Finno-Ugric Prosody Project: a set of test sentences is recorded by a number of native speakers, an acoustic-phonetic analysis is carried through of the recordings, the measurements are subjected to statistical treatment, and the results are analyzed from the point of view of their role in the manifestation of Li…

Between Facts and Speech Acts
This paper investigates the semantic functions and the distribution of the Conditional and the Conditional-Conjunctive moods in Moksha Mordvin. Based on corpus data from Standard Moksha, I argue that these grammatical moods are not contiguous in semantic space: they rarely occur in hypothetical conditional clauses. The Conditional-Conjunctive is more restricted than the Conditional, both functionally and syntagmatically, as the former is not com…
Обозначение звука ö [e̮] в памятниках ранней удмуртской письменности [To the History of Udmurt Graphics
The article deals with the designation of the Udmurt Ó§ [eÌ®] in monuments of the Udmurt alphabet of the 18th to the first half of the 19th century. In dictionaries and lists of words based on the Latin alphabet, researchers have adapted single letters ö, y, Ã1⁄4, e and various letter combinations for its representation. In the monuments written in Cyrillic, the ö phoneme is also denoted by individual letters and letter combinations. The choice …
Rimma Kuruch and Kildin Saami Language Planning
Rimma Dmitrievna Kuruch (1938-2019) was the pioneer of language planning for Kildin Saami. Together with several native Saami co-workers, she worked out and described the rules defining the current orthographic standard, established teaching in primary schools and published the most comprehensive, up-to-date dictionary of Standard Written Kildin Saami
Гидронимический субстрат Верхнего Припечорья [The Hydronymic Substrate of the Upper Pechora]
The river names of the Upper Pechora basin are analyzed in terms of linguistic origin. The boundaries of possible substrates are defined, links to similar names recorded in the border areas are established. The region is promising for the identification of a foreign language component. As a result of the study, a stratum has been recorded, represented by hydronyms of Finno-Permic (mainly East-Finnic) origin

The paper presents a verbal morphological description of one of the first written monuments in Southern Selkup, recorded by Saint Macarius. The first solid comments and handling of the script were done by Hartmut Katz. Yet until now no consistent and structural analysis of its morphology has been available. The paper deals with the description of such verbal categories as aspect, aktionsart, voice, person, number, tense, mood. There is also a dis…
Деепричастия в диалектах северного наречия удмуртского языка [Adverbial Participles in the Northern Dialect of the Udmurt]
The article explores the form and function of adverbial participles (converbs) in the Northern dialect of Udmurt. So far these forms have found insufficient coverage in scientific literature. The study demonstrates that neither the composition nor grammatical meanings of adverbial participles in these dialects differ greatly from those used in the literary language. It is established that the specificity of the adverbial forms is found in the pho…

In the light of the development of the historical toponymic dictionary of West Ingermanland, Russian and Swedish sources of the 16thâ 17th centuries have been searched for the names of the settlements of Ingermanland, which disappeared by the early 18th century. The area under consideration is the western part of Kingisepp district, Leningrad region. The material for the study consists of 16thâ 17th-century Russian and Swedish scribal documents a…
A Corpus Analysis of Differential Object Marking in Beserman Udmurt
This paper is focused on differential object marking in Beserman Udmurt. Elicitation sessions show the relevance of referential properties of the DO for the choice between accusative and zero marking; however, for Standard Udmurt animacy has been claimed to play a more significant role. To establish the exact ranking of each parameter, we conducted an analysis of corpus data involving 10 539 sentences with 2187 DOs. With human animates, the unmar…
