Indoeuropsko naslijeđe u mikenskoj pomorskoj onomastici
Indo-European Heritage in Mycenaean Maritime Onomastics

Summary/Abstract: This paper offers a detailed analysis of Mycenaean Greek toponyms whose root is related to the sea, and of such derivative ethnonyms that serve as anthroponyms, as well as of anthroponyms derived from words coming from a maritime context. With these, vocabulary related to the sea and seafaring from Mycenaean Greek is established, which can be confirmed in Classical Greek. In addition to the analysis of Greek words the author, whenever possible, establishes a relation with Croatian forms and their etymologies, not in the form of loan words, as such practically don’t exist in the sphere of Croatian toponymy, but in the form of naming patterns, whether or not the Proto-Indo-European roots used were the same.
