Народни називи за кишу са сунцем

Abstract

The subject of analysis is the interrelatedness of South Slavic folk terms for the plant illness rust and the meteorological phenomenon of rainfall accompa nied with sunshine. This meteorological phenomenon is believed to be the main cause of the plant illness — rust. The following terms with both meteorological and botanical connotations were discussed lexicographically and etymologically: ala, tonja, kija, maća, mana, balsara and cvek. The problematic lexicographical definition of phenomena belonging to the folk culture was pointed out. A hy pothesis is made about the existence of an incorporeal demonic being, that can be connected with the plant illness rust.

У раду се анализира међусобна условљеност јужнословенских народних термина за болест биљака типа пламењача и киша са сунцем — која се сматра за узрочника ове болести.
