О происхождении русских игровых терминов: сало, салки, масло
On the origins of the Russian games’ terms: salo, salki, maslo

Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the etymology of the Russian dialect terms of children’s games: salo, salki, solʹ, maslo (mazlo) and their derivatives. It is established that originally the terms salo and solʹ designated certain most important loci in the game space and were descended from the Turkic-Bulgarian salá ‘village’ (with the change of meaning from local to “food”). The term maslo was derived from salo as a synonym with “food” meaning.
