Summary/Abstract: Authors of previous studies concerning the Oriental (mostly, Turkish and Tatar) influence upon the Ukrainian language in the majority of cases focused on the presentation of Ukrainian word histories. The Oriental etymon as well as conduits of transmission were all too often almost neglected. However, a good etymological dictionary should be a common production of Slavicists and Orientalists. The present article shows some etymologies in which the Oriental background is somewhat closer investigated that it usually is the case.
