За един особен словообразувателен модел в старобългарски
On a certain word-formation model in Old Bulgarian

Summary/Abstract: The paper explores the origins and the history of a relict derivational model in OCS, in which the second part of the compound words contains a long grade of the root vowel. In the medieval texts the model is represented only by водоважда, водотѣча and the hapax водолажа. We presume that initially these compounds marked the intense course of the act expressed be the verbal root. The competiton with other compounds, formed without a long grade of the root vowel (types водоводъ, водотокъ and прѣдътеча, вельможа) contributed to their disappearance in the Slavonic dialects.
