Dunja Brozović-Rončević ; Zavod za lingvistička istraživanja HAZU, Zagreb

Abstract

In this paper the author tries to explain the meaning of the term “Old-European/alteuropäisch”. By this term Hans Krahe explained correspondences that he had noticed in the names of waters in different and linguistically unrelated European linguistic zones. Some critical opinions on this subject are also discussed. Finally, the importance of analyzing the oldest hydronymic stratum for the ethnogenesis and migration movements of the Croats has been pointed out.
