Where Boys, Girls and Children Come From
Studia Anglica Posnaniensia 47, 2-3, 2012 doi: 10.2478/v10121-012-0004-x WHERE BOYS, GIRLS AND CHILDREN COME FROM BORIS HLEBEC University of Belgrade ABSTRACT The etymology of three very frequent English words child, girl and boy has been notoriously obscure because researchers have failed to pay attention to possible Slavic influence. This article is aimed at rectifying this major oversight by providing abundant evidence of both formal and semantic similarities between the English items and the corresponding Slavic ones and at estab- lishing Scandinavian as an intermediary for girl and boy, no such connector being necessary for child. 1. child In the Germanic sphere there are a number of cognates of ModE child (< OE cild /tSild/ > /tSi:ld/ ‘baby’ > ‘boy or girl, offspring’) and colt ‘young male of horse; inexperienced person’. The form child bears the greatest similarity to the Gothic noun kilþei ‘uterus, womb’, while colt is more like OSwed. kulder/kolder > Mod. Swed. kult, kulting ‘half-grown animal; boy’ and Dan. kuld ‘children from the same marriage; litter of animals’. The Gothic nouns kilþei and inkilþō both meaning ‘womb’ are believed to come from *kwel- to which the dental suffix was added. The Swedish and Danish forms stem from the expanded IE apophonic variant *kwol- ‘tribe’, which also has a reflex in OGr. kholpos ‘womb, vagina’ (*kwol- + -p). All these forms may claim affinity with child on the ground of both form and meaning. Although the primary meaning ‘baby; the unborn or newly born human be- ing; foetus, infant’ of OE cild shows its connection with Goth. -
The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade
Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 18 January 2017 THE ARCHAEOLOGY OF THE PRUSSIAN CRUSADE The Archaeology of the Prussian Crusade explores the archaeology and material culture of the Crusade against the Prussian tribes in the thirteenth century, and the subsequent society created by the Teutonic Order that lasted into the six- teenth century. It provides the first synthesis of the material culture of a unique crusading society created in the south-eastern Baltic region over the course of the thirteenth century. It encompasses the full range of archaeological data, from standing buildings through to artefacts and ecofacts, integrated with writ- ten and artistic sources. The work is sub-divided into broadly chronological themes, beginning with a historical outline, exploring the settlements, castles, towns and landscapes of the Teutonic Order’s theocratic state and concluding with the role of the reconstructed and ruined monuments of medieval Prussia in the modern world in the context of modern Polish culture. This is the first work on the archaeology of medieval Prussia in any lan- guage, and is intended as a comprehensive introduction to a period and area of growing interest. This book represents an important contribution to promot- ing international awareness of the cultural heritage of the Baltic region, which has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades. Aleksander Pluskowski is a lecturer in Medieval Archaeology at the University of Reading. Downloaded by [University of Wisconsin - Madison] at 05:00 -

russian history 44 (2017) 209-242 brill.com/ruhi What Do We Know about *Čьrnobogъ and *Bělъ Bogъ? Yaroslav Gorbachov Assistant Professor of Linguistics, Department of Linguistics, University of Chicago [email protected] Abstract As attested, the Slavic pantheon is rather well-populated. However, many of its nu- merous members are known only by their names mentioned in passing in one or two medieval documents. Among those barely attested Slavic deities, there are a few whose very existence may be doubted. This does not deter some scholars from articulating rather elaborate theories about Slavic mythology and cosmology. The article discusses two obscure Slavic deities, “Black God” and “White God,” and, in particular, reexamines the extant primary sources on them. It is argued that “Black God” worship was limited to the Slavic North-West, and “White God” never existed. Keywords Chernobog – Belbog – Belbuck – Tjarnaglófi – Vij – Slavic dualism Introduction A discussion of Slavic mythology and pantheons is always a difficult, risky, and thankless business. There is no dearth of gods to talk about. In the literature they are discussed with confidence and, at times, some bold conclusions about Slavic cosmology are made, based on the sheer fact of the existence of a par- ticular deity. In reality, however, many of the “known” Slavic gods are not much more than a bare theonym mentioned once or twice in what often is a late, un- reliable, or poorly interpretable document. The available evidence is undeni- ably scanty and the dots to be connected are spaced far apart. Naturally, many © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2017 | doi 10.1163/18763316-04402011Downloaded from Brill.com09/23/2021 09:14:00PM via free access <UN> 210 Gorbachov Slavic mythologists have succumbed to an understandable urge to supply the missing fragments by “reconstructing” them. -

Archeologický Výzkum Mohyly a Domu Kůlové Konstrukce Ve Velkém Přítočně, Okr
Studia Archaeologica Brunensia 21 / 2016 / 2 DOI: 10.5817/SAB2016-2-5 Archeologický výzkum mohyly a domu kůlové konstrukce ve Velkém Přítočně, okr. Kladno The archaeological research of a burial mound and a stilt structure in Velké Přítočno, Kladno district Petr Menšík / Milan Procházka Abstrakt V roce 2011 byl proveden záchranný archeologický výzkum na katastru obce Velké Přítočno, okr. Klad- no. Na skryté ploše o rozloze 1,5 ha byly identifikovány dvě koncentrace nálezů. První koncentrace představovala kůlové jamky, které na základě vzájemných prostorových vztahů a analogií interpretu- jeme jako zbytek kůlového domu, přičemž lze uvažovat o jeho dataci do doby bronzové. Druhou kon- centrací archeologických situací byl pozůstatek kruhového žlabu o průměru 10–12 m vyplněného velký- mi kameny, snad pozůstatkem kamenného věnce. Ty nebyly na původním místě usazení zřejmě vlivem předchozí orby. Plocha uvnitř věnce byla vyplněna zeminou tmavšího charakteru a dvěma koncentra- cemi kamenů. Vzhledem k nízké mocnosti ornice a aktivnímu zemědělskému využití v místě skrývky bylo narušení objektu patrno i v charakteru nálezů. Podle typologie objektu a získaného keramického materiálu můžeme pravděpodobně hovořit o pozůstatku mohyly zařaditelné snad do doby bronzové. Vzájemnou souvislost kůlového domu a mohyly nelze prokázat. Spolu s jinými příklady z poslední doby tak nález přispívá k problematice „zmizelých“ rozoraných mohylníků ve středních Čechách. Klíčová slova doba bronzová, mohyla, kamenná konstrukce, pohřební ritus Abstract In 2011, a rescue archaeological excavation was made in the Velké Přítočno cadastre, Kladno district. In the stripping area of 1.5 ha, two main concentrations of findings were identified with the first one- be ing formed by pile holes interpreted as the rest of a stilt house. -
The Episcopate and Reconquest in Thetimes of Alfonso Vii of Castile
chapter 7 The Episcopate and Reconquest in the Times of Alfonso vii of Castile and León Carlos de Ayala Martínez Bishops and the Reception of the Crusade Idea in the Kingdoms of León and Castile If there is any specific theme that would allow us to place the rule of Alfonso vii (1126–1157) in a proper political and ideological context, it is the idea of crusade. When this monarch ascended to the throne in 1126, it had been only three years since the moment when the First Council of the Lateran had sanctified the crusade movement and granted those who would participate in it spiritual protection and absolution.1 And when, roughly thirty years later in 1157, the king was dying while returning from an unsuccessful campaign in Andalusia, it had been only nine years since Christendom had experienced the bitter taste of defeat during the Second Crusade, which humiliated St Bernard and his teachings.2 The Iberian Peninsula and more specifically the lands of León and Castile ruled by Alfonso vii were by no means separated from this intensified ful- filment of the crusade idea, in which Christian Europe was involved in the quarter-century between the First Lateran Council in 1123 and the failed at- tempt at conquering Damascus in 1148. First of all, Calixtus ii’s general council did not ignore the Iberian Peninsula. The tenth canon, concerning the cru- sade, made iter hierosolimitanum and iter hispanicum clearly equal as a pair 1 Conciliorum Oecumenicorum Decreta, ed. Giuseppe Alberigo, et al., 3d ed.

An Analysis of the Fitting from Haliczany in the Context of Other Early Medieval Finds from Selected Areas of the Western Slavic Territories1
SlovenSká archeológia lXvi – 1, 2018, 49 – 105 CAROLINGIAN OR NOT? AN ANALYSIS OF THE FITTING FROM HALICZANY IN THE CONTEXT OF OTHER EARLY MEDIEVAL FINDS FROM SELECTED AREAS OF THE WESTERN SLAVIC TERRITORIES1 ZBIGNIEW ROBAK The paper presents some remarks on the chronology and spatial distribution of the late avar, carolingian, and great Moravian finds in selected areas of the Western Slavic Territories. The main subject of this paper is to analyse a particular item found in haliczany, chełm county in Poland. The fitting fromh aliczany has already been subjected to typological and chronological analyses twice. in each case, however, it led the authors to entirelly different conclusions and since the space for its interpretation remains broad, it requires some clarification. The purpose of the study is to indicate possible origins of the fitting fromh aliczany in terms of both typology and the route it travelled to finally reach the areas of today eastern Poland. There are two competing explanations that are examined in this paper concerning either carolingian or nomadic origins of the item in question. in the methodological dimension the paper provides arguments in favour of considering even single finds in a context broader than only stylistic speculations, including also cultural, historical, and when possible also ‘geopolitical’ determinants. key words: early Middle ages, central europe, late avar culture, carolingian culture, Slavic culture.
