Структурирование топонимических данных в свете разработки историко-топонимического словаря Западной Ингер­манландии (часть II)
Analysis of Place Names for the Historical Toponymic Dictionary of West Ingermanland (Part II)

Summary/Abstract: In the light of the development of the historical toponymic dictionary of West Ingermanland, Russian and Swedish sources of the 16th and 17th centuries have been searched for the names of those settlements of Ingermanland which disappeared by the early 18th century. The area under consideration is the western part of Kingisepp district, Leningrad region. The material for the study consists of 16th and 17th century Russian and Swedish scribal documents and 17th century Swedish maps. The place names found were classified according to six territorial areas determined. Each place name was lexicographically considered by the following components of the dictionary entry: the original place name, its historical variants with administrative-territorial reference, hypothetical etymology, brief information about the local ownership of the object, variants of the name with a common root on the territory of all five pyatinas. As it turned out, not all place-names that have fallen out of documentary use can be unambiguously referred to a particular disappeared settlement. The reason for this is complex historical and geographical transformations that led to the emergence of doublet names for the same object, sometimes semantically completely unrelated, while some oikonyms do not always refer to one and the same settlement.
