О једном источносрбијанско-западнобуг арском дијалектизму

Abstract

Разматра се етимологија географских термина срп. дијал. ивер и у вези с тим износи претпоставка о пореклу прасловенског префикса *јь-.

Discussed in this paper is the SE Serbian hydrographic term ivora, dem. ivorka ‘funnel-shaped recess in a rock, where rainwater 1s collected’ along with the synonymous iver, dem. iverec in the neighbouring West Bulgarian vernaculars. Since in the adjoining region of Vranje the term for the same thing is wir, a derivative from Common Slavic *vьréti, it seems probable that ivor-/iver- also derives from that verbal root. Its i- could be explained as a dissimilatory variant, before v, of Common Slavic prefix *vy-, cf. Czech vy-vérati ‘to spring, to well’, and, with the tsofunctional *iьz-, Serb. iz-vor ‘spring, well, source’.
