On toponyms: some forms should be amended

Summary/Abstract: The paper discusses tens of primary oiconyms originating from hydronyms and differing from them in paradigm, the quality of the root vowel etc. On the basis of the data stored in the card index of the Department of Onomastics of the Institute of the Lithuanian Language and word etymologies, an attempt is made to identify the authentic forms of the base and the derived toponym. To be able to compare them with the present-day forms, the data have been collected from the sources of standard language approved for official use: A Manual of Administrative-Territorial Division of the Lithuanian SSR (Lietuvos TSR administracinio-teritorinio suskirstymo žinynas, volume 2, 1976), A Manual of River and Lake Names of the Lithuanian SSR (Lietuvos TSR upių ir ežerų vardynas, 1963) and A. Vanagas’ Etymological Dictionary of Lithuanian Hydronyms (Lietuvių hidronimų etimologinis žodynas, 1981).
