Abstract
In the paper, the authors analyze 500 toponyms found in the southeastern area
along the Neretva River (called Neretvanska krajina). In the introductory part
of the paper, the basic historical and geographical data are given followed by a
short overview of the basic dialectological features which are reflected in place
toponymy. In the main part of the paper, the place toponyms which point to the
great relief differentiation are analyzed given that on a relatively small area the
landscape varies from plain and littoral to mountain. Especially interesting are
hydronyms Mlaka otherwise characteristic for the Kajkavian area and Školj (in
the analysed area, školj is a small sea island or a swamp island).
