From Istrian hydronymy
Dunja Brozović-Rončević
Sažetak
The stratification of Istrian hydronymy reflects the complexity of different ethnic groups that through centuries inhabited Istrian peninsula. This paper discusses some problems of water names that date back from ancient times as well as some recent Croatian hydronyms. Names of the larger rivers belong to the preroman era, and along with proper names from the oldest inscriptions, represent the only trace of ancient Hystrian language. The layer of Romanic names is also well attested, while most names of smaller water courses, and microhydronymy in general, is of Slavic origin and shows the presence of early Croatian settlements in the Istrian peninsula.
