    UDK 811.16'373.45:811.511 Krzysztof Tomasz Witczak Uniwersytet Łódzki / Univerza v Lodžu [email protected] ARE THERE TRACES OF A FINNO-UGRIC SUBSTRATUM IN PROTO-SLAVIC?1 The author discusses the problem of possible Uralic borrowings in Proto-Slavic, hypoth- esizing that the Proto-Slavs in their homeland (presumably located in Eastern Europe) were neighbours of some unknown Finno-Ugric tribes. Moreover, he suggests that Proto-Slavic loanwords of Uralic origin refer not only to plants (e.g., oak, tinder fungus) and the natural environment (e.g., PSl. *kǫpa f. ‘a hillock or an island overgrown with trees’), but also to some basic social terms (e.g., PSl. *čьlověkъ m. ‘human being, man, husband, serf, servant’; *mǫ̑ žь m. ‘man, husband’). Language contacts between the Proto-Slavs and a Finno-Ugric substra- tum must have been exceptionally intensive, as the Proto-Slavs borrowed some verbs—e.g., PSl. *kǫpati ‘to immerse in water, to bathe, to wash’, PSl. *ličiti ‘to count, reckon, calculate’. Keywords: borrowings, language contacts, Proto-Slavic, substratum, Uralic influence Avtor obravnava vprašanje morebitnih uralskih izposojenk v praslovanščini, izhajajoč iz domneve, da so Praslovani v svoji pradomovini (ki je bila verjetno v vzhodni Evropi) živeli v soseščini z neznanimi ugrofinskimi plemeni. Naposled ugotavlja, da se praslovanske izposo- jenke uralskega (ugrofinskega) izvora niso nanašale le na rastline (npr. hrast, kresilno gobo) in naravno okolje (npr. psl. *kǫpa f. 'z drevjem poraščena vzpetina na močvirnatem svetu'), pač pa tudi na osnovne socialne termine (npr. psl. *čьlověkъ m. 'človek, moški, hlapec'; *mǫ̑ žь m. 'mož, moški').

  • Calgary Jewish Community Council and Its Successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, During an Incredibly Busy and Productive Year
    Rededicating Renewing Rejewvenating Annual Report 2010 – 2011 | 5771 President and Interim Executive Director’s Message It is a real pleasure to share in these pages the accomplishments of Calgary Jewish Community Council and its successor, Calgary Jewish Federation, during an incredibly busy and productive year. Our efforts this past year have been focused on renewing and “rejewvenating” our Jewish community through education, inclusion and leadership development. We reached in to the unaffiliated and reached out to the greater Calgary community. And we are proud to say that we brought the joys of “doing Jewish” to an increasing number of men, women and children. We have a new name and new logo. Calgary Jewish Federation is now our community’s central funding, planning and coordinating body, completing a process that began with our March 2007 Strategic Plan for Ensuring the Future of the Jewish Community. This year, Federation and CJCC share one annual report. Henceforth, we will operate independently of one another. CJCC will continue to proudly serve the community, but will function independently as a not-for-profit organization tasked with coordinating local Israel advocacy efforts and promoting projects and programs with our sister region of Etzba HaGalil (the Galilee Panhandle) in Northern Israel. Another major undertaking during the past year was our search for a new Executive Director, and we are very pleased to welcome Drew Staffenberg back to Calgary in that capacity. Having served the community so capably from 1983 through 1993, Drew returns to us with outstanding experience in campus development and we are thrilled that he will help us to achieve our dream of a Jewish community campus.
