Z leksyki Pomorza Zachodniego. Kaszubskie dialektyzmy ostrów, osuch i okół w nazwach terenowych
From the vocabulary of Pomorze Zachodnie (Western Pomerania). Dialectical Terms of Kashuby ostrów, osuch and okół in the territorial names

Summary/Abstract: The article is a part of the cycle of works presenting the vocabulary on the basis of which the territorial names were created in Pomorze Zachodnie before the germanization of these territories. The works are based on the materials from the Vocabulary of Former Pomeranian Territorial Names of the Western Pomerania (Słownik dawnych pomorskich nazw terenowych z Pomorza Zachodniego). The article presents a list of concrete names of the bases of ostrów (‘island’), osuch (‘a higher location at the field or a meadow, etc.’), okół (‘a turn of the river or a meadow or a field above the river’s turn), e.g. Wustrowk, Wussuschke, Wokoll and their location on the map. The base of ostrów is the archaism which lives in Kashubian dialects, osuch and okół are Kashubian innovations, which in the past – as proved by the territorial names formed on the basis thereof – also reached the eastern part of Pomorze Zachodnie (Western Pomerania).
