Prilog istraživanju toponimije Lovranšćine: mikrotoponimija Lovranske Drage i Visoča
Contribution to Toponymy Research of the Lovran Region: Microtoponymy of Lovranska Draga and Visoče

Summary/Abstract: The toponymy of the villages Lovranska Draga and Visoče territories is examined in this article. The basic corpus of toponyms is gained from The List of Cadastral Parcels of Cadastral District Tuliševica (Popis katastarskih čestica za katastarsku općinu Tuliševica), but the benefits of several computer databases were also used as a corrective step for gaining maximum precision in the determination of the toponyms location. Corpus was supplemented by interviews with informants and by the excerpts from literature and archival sources. All toponyms were listed in the alphabetical order and analyzed as separate entries. Toponyms were analyzed at several levels: 1) geographical: every toponym was pinpointed and within description the geographical placement and dependency on the soil type is primarily taken; 2) historical: an overview of toponyms occurence in the primary archival sources (last wills) was given; 3) linguistic: a brief explanation for some toponyms was offered, especially for those originating from the local idiom, and all of them were also accentuated. This article aims to give a new contribution to the extremely poor toponomastic research of the Lovran region.
