Tariamai finougriškos kilmės Lietuvos vandenvardžiai

Simonas Noreikis

Abstract

Tyrimo tikslas – patikrinti Aleksandro Vanago ir kitų kalbininkų vykdytų Lietuvos vandenvardžių tyrimų metu nustatytą jų finougrišką kilmę lyginant vandenų vardus su panašiai skambančiais dabartiniais finougriškais apeliatyvais ir tikriniais žodžiais. Manoma, kad toks lyginimas nėra patikimas, kadangi kalbama apie galimus kalbų kontaktus, vykusius prieš 4000 metų, kuomet baltų ir finougrų kalbos turėjo kitokią fonologinę struktūrą. Dėl šios priežasties buvo atlikta lyginamų formų istorinė-fonologinė rekonstrukcija ir nustatyta, ar iš rekonstruotos finougriškos formos galėjo išsirutulioti lietuviška forma. Gavus neigiamą atsakymą, finougriškos kilmės galimybė buvo atmesta. Taip pat buvo tikrinta, ar apeliatyvas, su kuriuo lyginamas Lietuvos vandenvardis, yra vartojamas finougriškų vietovardžių daryboje (semantinis kriterijus). Neigiamo atsakymo atveju finougriškos kilmės galimybė taip pat buvo atmesta. Galiausiai buvo tikrinama lyginamojo finougriško apeliatyvo kilmė ir kai kuriais atvejais paaiškėjo, kad bendrinis žodis finougrų kalbose yra skolinys iš kitų kalbų ir atsirado vėliau, negu vyko numanomi baltų ir finougrų kalbų kontaktai dabartinėje Lietuvos teritorijoje. Pritaikius išvardintus metodus, ištyrus pateiktus vandenvardžius ir iš naujo nustačius jų etimologijas paaiškėjo, kad visos iki šiol buvusios nepatikimos. Remiantis naujausiais archeologiniais tyrimais galima teigti, kad Lietuvoje apskritai negali būti akmens amžiaus laikų finougrų substrato. Tačiau neatmestina tai, kad Lietuvoje gali būti naujųjų laikų finougrų (vodų (krievinių)) tikrinių žodžių, kurių šio straipsnio autorius ieškos toliau studijuodamas  doktorantūroje.

Vanag men ioned hem in a ious o his wo ks, o which Zigmas Zinke ičius (2005: 29) compiled, in his opinion, he mos likely lis o wa e names o Finnish o igin and claimed ha he Finnish o igin o mos o hese wa e names was no in doub , bu did no explain why. This a icle will p esen a lis o wa e names, mos o which a e based on he a o emen ioned Zinke ičia lis , bu i will also include mo e wa e names men ioned in o he sou ces. Fo example, he i e Tilka was men ioned in he his o y guide Time 7 (2004: 37). The lis o Zinke ičius will also be supplemen ed by o he wa e names men ioned by Vanago (1975: 406407).

SIMONAS NOREIKIS 140 Ac o Linguis ic Li huanian XC The PAV. Mos likely o be o Finnish o igin acco ding o Zinke ičių (2005: 30) 3.1. The lake Vanagas (1970: 106) does no p o ide an explana ion o he o igin o he Finoug iška, bu only compa es he name wi h o he Li huanian wa e names, such as Ìlma Didžióji, Emis and assigns i o a ce ain ype, which is o med by he p e ix -ėdpagalba. Howe e , in his e ymological dic iona y, Vanagas (1981: 129) al eady compa es his wa e name wi h he La ian place names Ilmāde, Ilmede (upė), Ilma ( illage), Ilmā es (play), Ilme e ( illage), which Janis Endzelynas, in u n, compa es wi h he Es onian place names Ilma -salu, Ilm-soo, Ilma-soo (Endzelīns: 1956: 359).
