Abstract

The paper presents toponyms in the Gacka Valley. The area covered by the survey includes the city of Otočac and villages in the surrounding area, which are inhabited by Chakavian-speaking population, and thus make up a geographical unit. It shows a semantic and structural classification of oikonyms, microtoponyms, hydronyms and oronyms of the area. Toponyms registered on cadastral and forestry maps or obtained from the locals exhibit how interesting and versatile is the onomastic collection of the western part of Lika.
