Summary/Abstract: The article approaches Komi vocabulary for forest landscapes as a separate microsystem of concrete objects and concrete names for those objects. The comparative-historical method has been used to analyse that lexical group for words that are shared with cognate languages and to distinguish them from the words that are not. The latter have probably emerged during the period when the Komi-Zyrian language developed independently. The origin and proportion of the loanwords has also been found out.
