Митологеми и персонификации на съдба (опит за интерпретация на антропонима Коркут)
Mythologemes and personification of fate (attempted interpretation of antroponim Korkut)

Summary/Abstract: The study distinguished the terms "mythologemes" and "archetype" and monitored mythological notions of fate and its personification in Greek, Roman and Scandinavian mythologies. It was made an attempt for interpretation of the mythological figure of Dede Korkut, a personification of its fate in two hypostases: “the ruled, the predetermined" and "the happy fate, the fate protection”. The anthroponym Korkut is interpreted as a combination of two words kor and kut - male and female principle, which is ultimately connected with the divine Tengri (who rules) and Umay (who protects). Other interpretations of the name Korkut, related to the perception of fear and misfortune may be considered to later transformations, passed the complex way of associative rethinking and reframing.
