From the Istro-roumanian Phytonymy: Herbs and Medicinal plants

Goran Filipi ; The Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Zagreb, Croatia

Abstract

The paper deals with Istro-Roumanian terms for herbs and medicinal plants. The terms were collected from 1984 to 2002 in all the places where Istro-Roumanian is still in use (Žejane, Šušnjevica, Nova Vas, Jesenovik, Letaj, Brdo, Škabići, Trkovci, Zankovci, Miheli and Kostrčan). The words are compared to the equivalent forms in Croatian, Slovenian and Istro-Venetian dialects and, if there is an original word, to the other three Romanian dialects (Daco-romanian, Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian). All the words are presented lexically and etimologycally. The presented terms are 18, mostly of Chakavian origin.
