Гидронимический субстрат Верхнего Припечорья
The Hydronymic Substrate of the Upper Pechora

Summary/Abstract: The river names of the Upper Pechora basin are analyzed in terms of ­linguistic origin. The boundaries of possible substrates are defined, links to similar names recorded in the border areas are established. The region is promising for the identification of a foreign language component. As a result of the study, a ­stratum has been recorded, represented by hydronyms of Finno-Permic (mainly East-Finnic) origin.
