Names for bogs and their toponymic reflections in Croatian

Abstract
The author gives an integral survey of toponomastic appellatives which are motivated
by bog names, and a number of their toponymic reflections on the territories
where Croatian was historically spoken. Most of them are hydronyms; for
some of the terms which have disappeared from Croatian, toponymic reflections
provide the only evidence that they had once formed part of the Croatian lexical
corpus. This semantic group of geographical terms is especially interesting for
comparative toponomastic studies because it provides very old evidence of
toponymic reflections and their evident incorporation into the common Slavic
toponomastic word formation patterns.
