Baltism or non-baltism. More reflections on baltisms in Kashubian

Summary/Abstract: Of the eight Kashubian words recognized by Ju. A. Laučjute as balticisms only kukla ‘small bread, puppet’ and kuling ‘kind of water bird’ can be regarded as relics of the past lexical Baltic-Slavic similarities. Concerning the other words: kash. jöps ‘badger’ is the result of phonetic transformation of the ps. *jazv.c. ‘ts.’; kurp ‘shoe with the tops cut off’ most probably continues the ps. *k.pa ‘slice, piece of skin’; .eůp ‘kind of fish, Gobio gobio’ and kuzep ‘mushroom, a fruit with the middle bitten off’ are North-Slavic dialectalism of unclear origins; the semantic convergence of kash. ‘suka’ and latv. ‘kuňa‘ts.’ is probably an indoeuropean archaism; kash. pykon ‘small, thin eel’ is most likely a borrowing from the German Prussian dialects.
