Oleg Nikolaevich Trubachov and Slavic etymology of the toponym Vrbas
Abstract
The first part of the paper deals with the contribution of Oleg Nikolaevich Trubachov to ethnolinguistics, onomastics and etymology. This Russian scholar is perceived as the most distinguished academic in the field of Slavic studies of his time. The second part elaborates on Trubachov's etymology of the toponym Vrbas, which started its existence as an ethnotoponym, then hydronym, and which is now interpreted as a consonant base in n in the plural locative without prepositions which undergoes toponymization in the second instance.
