Antroponymická sústava u starých Grékov
System of anthroponymy of acient Greeks

Summary/Abstract: HARAJ, I.: System of anthroponymy of acient Greeks, Slavica Slovaca, 41, No. 1, pp. 50-60. (Bratislava) The author analyzes the system of the ancient Greek anthroponymy from the point of view of the modern Slovak onomastics. The basic functional element is represented by the first name, further potential elements being the patronymicum and the demoticum (the name reflecting one’s domicile). Each of these functional elements possesses a different structure of onymic markers. In the process of onymization, every part of speech may become a noun, whereas the grammatical gender gives way to the natural one. Majority of Greek personal names consist of linguistic forms which have no counterpart in the appelative lexics.
