Summary/Abstract: The paper outlines some problems of processing the electronic Dictionary of Moravian and Silesian Anoikonyms. The examples of dialect forms of anoikonyms indicate that onomastics has to cooperate with dialectology, otherwise the onomastic interpretation of the investigated names is incorrect or not possible in general. The paper analyzes the dialect features of phonology (e. g. anoikonyms listed under the entry KOLONIE), morphology (e. g. the anoikonym KAMÍNKA) and vocabulary (e. g. the anoikonym NA JÁNĚ). It also deals with geographical location of anoikonyms and respective common names (e. g. names with Czech suffix -iště/-isko, anoikonyms including the Czech noun kolébka/kolíbka ‚cradle‘). Selected material indicates that the anoikonyms create specific areas which can be in conformity with dialect areas, but not indispensably.
