Abstract

The paper analyses a group od Bulgarian metaphorically motivated placenames,
especially those derived from terms for human (head, nose, leg etc.) or
animal (wing, horn, beak, hoof etc.) body parts. Such a kind of nomination is
very frequent in Bulgarian toponymy, but also in toponymy of other Slavic
languages.
