ACTA LINGUISTICA LITHUANICA LIETUVIŲ KALBOTYROS KLAUSIMAI XLI (1999) Daiva DELTUVIENĖ Vilnius University ABOUT THE LITHUANIAN PLACE-NAMES WITH -KEHMEN | -KEIMEN AND -LAUKEN Recently, the attention of scholars in various fields is increasingly focused on Lesser Lithuania. The object of the toponymic research is the numerous Lithuanian (partly Baltic) place names of this territory. F. Hoppe (Hoppe 1877), O. Natau (Natau 1937), W. Fenzlau (Fenzlau 1936), V. Pėteraitis (Pėteraitis 1997) and others have studied the origin and formation of local names in Lithuania Minor. The material used in this article was collected from East Prussian foliants in the secret Prussian archives in Berlin. The name is not found in any of the lists or directories of East Prussian place names. This is a unique material that can provide a lot of information about Lithuanians, their language, their life at that time, their relations with other peoples who lived there. The article discusses 16th-17th century enriched oikonimies, the second syllable of which is -kehmen /-keimen (lit. kiemas „separate village farm, farm; village, gardens“ LKŽ V 748; village „peasants’ settlement; gardens“ LKŽ V 54) and -lauken (lit. field, flat, treeless place; arable land; village, gardens’ LKZ VII 177). According to the origin of the first sando, the durini with the second sando -kehmen / -keimen can be divided into several groups. 1. Lithuanian personal name + yard / village: Drut3keimenn (Amt Insterburg) 1564 (Ostpr. Fol. 4599 99), Drudtschkehmen 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 66), Dru3kehmen 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Speak. 4610 81): probably Lit. *Druckiemiai /*Drukiemis or *Drukaimiai /*Drukaimis. From Avd. Drūčas or Drūčkus: drūčkis "fat man, beast" (LPZ I 529). See also vv. Pressure clamps, pressure hoses (Goldbeck II 44). Gerkischkeinenn (Amt Insterburg) 1564 (Ostpr. Fol. 4599 55): Lithuanian gender would be *Gerkiškaimis /*Gerkiškaimiai. The first is the 1st-order derivative of the prefix -derivation from avd. 656) or from pr. avd. Gerke, Gerko (Trautmann 1925: 31). It is also possible that the name is of German origin. 1642–1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 6): *Kostankiemis | *Kostankiemiai. From Avd. 222) (in French) 222. Yeah, they did! Plg. vok. avd. Gerke, Gehrke (Bach 1974: 71). 101
at the beginning of the word, a can be changed to 0 (Fenzlau 1936: 22-23), e.g., Korallischken (Royal), Kollaten (Colored). Kurschkehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 172): probably lit. vv. *Kurškiemis /*Kurškiemiai. From Avd. Kurszus, Kurszys, Kurszaitis, Kurszatis, Kurszis (Kalwaitis 1910: 13). E. Hoppe also derives place names with the root Kurszar Kursch from personal names Kurszus, Kurszies, Kurszat, Kurschat (Hoppe 1877: 407-408). Meschkakehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 148): lit. vv. *Meskakiemis | *Meskakiemiai. It may be a derivative of the a.k.a. Bear: bear "bear; clumsy, dramblot, heavy, agreeable man” (LPZ II 212) and the courtyard of the appeal. See also Avd. Meszka, Meszkatis, Meszkis, Meszkys (Kalwaitis 1910: 14). PluBkehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 58): *Pliuskkiemis /*Pliuskkiemiai or *Pliuškkiemis /*Pliuškkiemiai. From Avd. Pliūskis, Pliuskys, Pliuska, Pliūskus: pluūskė “pliauska, atskala, shaveldra; what is flattened, flat” or Pluūškis, Pliuskys, Pliūškus: pluūškis “decoration, decoration; a frivolous, frivolous, casual person; who splashes nothings, everything outpleases, nonsense, nonsense” (LPŽ II 479). See also Avd. Pluszis, Pluszys (Kalwaitis 1910: 15). G. Gerulis discusses pr. vv. Pluselawken 1419, whose origin he explains as follows: lietuv. pliūšė + pr. laucks (Gerullis 1922: 216). F. Hoppe also believes that the first sand is of Lithuanian origin — from plusze, pluszis “Schnittgras” (Hoppe 1877: 411). However, we should not exclude the possibility of the personal name origin of the first sando, since most of the composed place names of Lesser Lithuania were formed according to the surnames of the inhabitants (Pėteraitis 1997: 15). PruBelkehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 57), PruBelkehmen 1687 (Ostpr. Fol. 4627 14): *Pruselkiemis /*Pruselkiemiai. Plg. avd. "Prūsas, Prusėlis, Prūsėlis" (LPZ II 519).

Fol. 4610 65), Smulkehmen 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 79): *Smulkkiemis | *Smulkkiemiai. From Avd. Smulkys (Kalwaitis 1910: 17), Smulka, Smulkis, Smulkys: fine “consisting of small particles, grain; whose small sight, small dimensions; thin, etc.’ 772) or Shmuel, Shmuel, which comes from Hebrew. The Christian name of origin Samuel, cf. German. Schmuel: Samuel, Schmu(h)- l: Samuel (LPZ II 963). Plg. dar vv. Schmulkehlen, Schmulken (Goldbeck II 144). In the variants S3mulkehmen and Schmiilkehmen lit. s is 102
changed to š. In the opinion of W. Fenzlau, this is influenced by the peculiarity of German (both Žemaičių and aukštaičių) to pronounce [š] before other consonants. In his opinion, the German Highlanders usually keep the Lithuanian [s], while the German Zemgalians change it to [š] (Fenzlau 1936: 80). There are more such variants: Schmeilen —Smailen, Schmaleduhmen —Smalleduhmen, Smilgen —Schmilgen, etc. (Pėteraitis 1997: 360-361). There is also a version of the name from the adjective smulkūs + kiémas, cf. lit. vv. Schwentakemen 1590 (Barkowski 1928: 34): lever + courtyard, Szemkehmen 1785 (Goldbeck II 211): field + courtyard. This form of place names is known in the Lithuanian and Latvian names, cf. lit. vw. High Tables, High Table (II, 17). 2. German personal name + yard: Bernigkehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 149): *Bernikiemis /*Bernikiemiai. The first wing comes from the front. avd. Bernick(- e) (Forstemann 1900: 259; Heintze 1933: 136). It is also possible that the name is of Polish origin. Dedekehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 124): *Dedekiemis | *Dedekiemiai. From WWE. avd. Dede (: Theodulf) (Gottschald 1954: 232). See also vv. Dedewethenn 1557 (Barkowski 1928: 232). Contact with Lit. avd. Dédys (LPZ I 478) is also possible. 3. Polish name + yard: Wallnigkehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 41): *Valnikiemis | *Valnikiemiai. The first is composed of 1000 pieces. avd. 1991) 1917 – Ryuichi Sakamoto, Japanese singer (d. Valnik-(: valnas frei, los, ledig® LEW II 1192). 4. General word + yard: GroB SzirBkehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 92): *Sirskiemis | *Sirskiemiai. "The Family of the Clownfishes". wasps; who is very angry, gets stuck immediately, jSirsta“ (LKZ XIV 906) + courtyard. 5. Not quite clear cases: Jellic3kehmen (Amt Insterburg) 1687 (Ostpr. Fol. 4627 11): *Jelickiemis / *Jelickiemiai or *Jeliskiemis | *Jeliskiemiai. The etymology of the first verse of this verse could be twofold: from the Polish. avd. 1383 (Rymut 1991: 136) or from German. avd. Jellies (: Vigelius) (Gottschald 1954: 610)*, although both interpretations require more detailed analysis. Schulckemeij (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. fol. 4610 13). If the letter sch corresponds to š, then the Lithuanian gender could be *Sulkiemiai. Then * Plg. avd. 1997) 1929 – Bernard (born Bernard) (d. 3 Plg. also Bach 1952: 168. 103
The first sand comes from the German. avd. 1933) 1933 – Heintze, Lithuanian poet (b. Wells: wells "built-in laying door, wooden well rail, gate, bridge, etc. column; wooden bucket, barrel side table” (LPZ II 989)*. The combination of letters sch can correspond to sk, then the Lithuanian equivalent would be *Skulkiemiai. Then the first sand comes from a possible avd. *Skulis or *Skulys. According to W. Fenzlau, the combination of letters sch may in some cases reflect ž (Fenzlau 1936: 87), then the Lithuanian gender would be *Žulkiemiai. In this case, the first sand is derived from lit. avd. Žulys: žulys „stačialiežuvis“, žuliai „Stačiokas, nemandagus“ (LPZ II 1348) or Zulka, *Žulkys, Žulkus (with suffix -kiš root žul-) (LPZ II 1348). Dūriniai, whose second suffix is -lauken, can also be divided into several groups: 1. Lithuanian name + field: Kiegstlaugken (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 143): *Kėkštlaukis | *Keékstlaukiai. From Avd. 1967) 1910 – Kęstutis Kalvaitis, Lithuanian poet (d. Plg. dar Kiegskehmen or Kdgsten (Goldbeck II 69). However, the origin of the first sando (from the adjective Kėkštas) requires a more detailed study, because in the opinion of W. Fenzlau, the lit. é and ie in German are represented by e, e.g., Bittehnen = Bitėnai, Szardwethen = Zardvieciai (Fenzlau 1936: 37-40). A similar case is mentioned by O. Barkowski: Pietzschlaucken gleich Petzlaucken 1584 (Barkowski 1928: 228). Kirkutlauck (Amt Ragnit) 1549 (Ostpr. Fol. 9392 51), Kirkuttlaugk 1556 (Ostpr. Fol. 9396 41): *Kirkutlaukis. From Avd.

Kuksta, Kukstas, Kukstys: kuksta, kūkštas "bunch, fiber; a rotten heap; tree crown” (LPZ I 1109). German Highlanders change the Lithuanian [š], which is between two consonants, to [s], e.g., Birstonischken = Birštoniškiai, Bersteningken = Berštininkai (Fenzlau 1936: 83-88). Padtlaugken (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 171): *Puodlaukis | *Puodlaukiai. The first sand from avd. Pot, Pots: pot "metal container for cooking food; clay vessel, pottery” (LPZ II 533-534). According to W. Fenzlau, in German the Lithuanian [uo] is usually replaced by | [0] (Fenzlau 1936: 40-46), e.g., Kooden = lit. 1936) Fez (1940). See also vv. Jodeglienen, Jodschen, Jodlaucken (Goldbeck II 76, 77). The vowel [a] is most likely influenced by German Samogitian (Ziesemer 1924: 128). PruBlaucken (Amt Insterburg) 1642-1664 (Ostpr. Fol. 4610 85): *Pruslaukis / *Pruslaukiai.
