Abstract

When we discuss the names of animals or zoonyms, it is occasionally very difficult to define the border between the name and the appelative from which the name came into existance. This work analyzes naming models in zoonymy, mainly through the example of interpreting names of horses. Even though this model is partially comparable with and even overlaps with naming models from other onomastic categories, the classifications of the collected zoonyms show that they follow some of their own unique models, generally determined by direct relationships between man and animal.

Keywords

zoonyms; animal names; names of horses; appellative
