Oblici dvojine u toponimiji stare Crne Gore
Forms of Duality in Toponymy in old Montenegro

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the remains of duality in the toponymy of Montenegro, with a special emphasis on the onomastics of Old Montenegro. Although the old Montenegrin toponymy has not been explored in detail, the available work and field studies have showed preservation of traces of duality in the toponymy of the observed environment. Duality, as a grammatical category has completely disappeared during the historical development of the Montenegrin language, but there are many examples showing it has been preserved by means of toponyms in the Montenegrin language. That has been shown by the following examples: Vrta, Poda, Kuta, Luke, Gluhce et al. Previous studies have shown that these forms are kept in the best way in the most progressive stokavian speech.
