Poznámka k etymologii staroslověnského vъsǫdъ ‘svaté přijímání’ / Pripomba k etimologiji starocerkvenoslovanskega vъsǫdъ ‘sveto obhajilo’

This article reviews etymological explanations of Old Church Slavic vъsǫdъ ‘Holy Communion, Eucharist’. It argues in favor of the hypothesis that the word is an Early Romance loanword.

Poznámky k aktuálnosti vydané korespondence Václava Machka

V loňském roce byla péčí etymologického oddělení Ústavu pro jazyk český AV ČR vydána ve dvou svazcích obsáhlá korespondence etymologa, indoevropeisty a slavisty Václava Machka (1894-1965). Zahrnuje v podstatě celou Machkovu profesní dráhu, pochází z období mezi lety 1929 a 1965. Většina této doby je v Machkově životě nerozlučně spjata s Filozofickou fakultou Masarykovy univerzity. Machek se zde roku 1931 habilitoval, působil tu pak nejprve jako soukromý docent, od roku 1936 jako mimořádný profesor a od roku 1945 až do své smrti jako profesor řádný, a to v oboru indoevropský srovnávací jazykozpyt.

Старочешское anděl ‘ангел’: заимствование из старославянского языка или из латыни?

The aim of this paper is to discuss the existing theories of the origin of the Old Czech word anděl ‘angel’, whose -ď- may be explained as reflecting influence from Old Church Slavonic анг҄елъ, containing a palatalised sound, or from Medieval Latin angelus [anjelus]. New supporting arguments in favour of the latter view are presented, and, in particular, further evidence of Old Czech [ď] in place of earlier [j], the possible secondary influence of antonymous Old Czech diábel/ďábel ‘devil’ in the modification of original Old Czech anjel to anděl, and the form of words for ‘angel’ in other West and western South Slavonic languages. Also considered is the possibility that the origin of anděl is to be found in a spoken Early Romance dialect. DOI: 10.31168/2305-6754.2021.10.2.1Цель статьи — обсудить существующие гипотезы относительно происхождения старочешского слова anděl ‘ангел’: -ď- в этом слове можно объяснить как отражение влияния либо старославянского анг҄елъ, содержащего палатализованный согласный, либо среднелатинского angelus [anjelus]. В статье приведены новые аргументы в пользу второго толкования, а именно иные случаи появления старочешского [ď] на месте более раннего [j], возможное вторичное влияние старочешского антонима diábel/ďábel ‘дьявол’ на изменение первоначального старочешского anjel в anděl и форма слов со значением ‘ангел’ в других западнославянских и в западных южнославянских языках. Обсуждается также возможность возведения старочешского anděl к устному раннероманскому диалекту. DOI: 10.31168/2305-6754.2021.10.2.
