Abstract

In the paper the authors analyze the orthographic contributions by Božidar Finka in connection with his dialectological and onomastic work, starting with his papers on orthography and his chapters in the Croatian Orthographic Manual (capital letters, punctuation marks, loan words and abbreviations). The analysis focuses on the orthographic rules for capitalization in multiword toponyms, hyphenation in toponymy and the inclusion of marks for accents and the genitive sign. The connected terminological problems have also been analyzed. Finka's orthographic rules and terminology have been compared with those in the orthographic manual preceding and following the Croatian Othographic Manual, and the changes in different editions of this manual have been analyzed.
