Rozwój nieprzegłoszonego *ęT w nazwach miejscowości i nazwach terenowych Pomorza Zachodniego a ewolucja *ęT w językach i dialektach lechickich oraz w dolnołużyckim
The development of un ablauted *ęT in locality names and topographic names in Western Pomerania (Poland) and the evolution of *ęT in Lechitic languages and dialects and in Lower Sorbian

Summary/Abstract: The proto-Lechitic ablaut *ęT > *′ǫT, as in Kashubian v′ǫzc, v′ąze in oppositionto the regular unchanged form v′izc, v′ize did not occur in some preserved Slavic placenames in the southern area of Western Pomerania: from the area south of Szczecin intoregions of Darłowo in Middle Pomerania, e.g. Kotentowe – Chociętowo, Diosintablotta:*desęt- ‘ten’. In this area the absence of *ŕ̥T > *r̥T umlaut is also noted, e.g. Czirnowe :czarny ‘black’, Dirloua ‘Darłowo’. The absence could have been caused by some early contactswith a Slavic population from the Sorabian group, in which Proto-Lechitic umlaut*ęT > *′ǫT did not occur.
