The Verb knysić and Its Prefix Derivatives in the Dialect of the Biecz Area in Podgórze in Comparison With Other Dialects

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the ambiguous verb knysić meaning i. a. ‘to mix’, ‘to knead, knead, mix, knead (mainly dough)’ and prefixal formations, such as naknysić, poknysić, sknysić, uknysić, wyknysić, zaknysić functioning in the Bugaj dialect of the Pogórze region (Gorlice district) in comparison with other dialects. This verb in other Lesser Poland dialects shows a high variance, cf. e.g. knysić/knycić/knychcić/klęsić/knysać/knyszać kniysać/kmysać/klysać/kłysać/knychać/knytać/ knysać/klęsać. The author of the article discusses the state of documentation of the studied words, their variants, meanings, and territorial range. An existing etymological hypothesis is also presented; however, a discussion of the etymology of this verb, unclear as to its genesis, requires further research, taking into account not only other common words and proper names containing the same or formally similar root (e.g. nouns knys, knysz, local names of the Knyszyn type, personal names, e.g. Knysz, Knyszka), but also a non-Slavic background. However, the data presented in the article may provide important arguments for the etymologisation of the verb in question.
