O pewnym archaizmie derywacyjnym: dystrybucja sufiksów *-ьje i *-ov-ьje w collectivach (na podstawie polskiego materiału toponomastycznego)
On a particular derivational archaism: the distribution of the suffixes *-ьje and *-ov-ьje in collective nouns (evidence from Polish toponomastic data)

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issue of the distribution of the suffixes *-ьje and *-ov-ьje in collective nouns preserved in Polish toponyms, e.g. Dąbie vs. Bukowie. Comparative Slavic data indicate that the extended variant of the suffix *-ov-ьje originated, among other things, in derivatives of *ū-stems due to the substitution of the thematic suffix *-ъv- by *-ov-. It is suggested that the suffix *-ьje primarily derived abstract nouns from adjectives, which eventually gave rise to its collective function.
