Sažetak
This article presents 527 different pronunciations of the names of horses, whose meanings and origins are not considered here. By listing the different pronunciations of horse names through history, our intention is to prevent them being forgotten, since today horses are given names based on characters from films, or celebrities, whether actors, singers, sportsmen and women, or other famous people with other occupations. Various pronunciations of the same horse name, derivations of the same basic horse name, and different spellings with the same pronunciation (đogat, gjogat) are listed as different names. In this way Kurelac (1867) described 191 horse names and 25 names with foreign origins. Zovko (1896) listed 34 horse names, Prohasko (1917a, 1917b) 20 horse names related to colour, Kadić (1965) 71 horse names, Sekulić (1993) 112 names, Brozović Rončević and Čilaš Šimpraga (2008) 201 horse names, a Horvat (2016) 203 horse names.
There are 161 names directly related to colour (white 19, yellow 8, golden 5, blue 4, ginger 29, dark red 10, dark brown 14, grey 18, green 6, black 22, and multi-colour 26), 62 horse names are directly related to specific characteristics (a flower on the head - 8, spots, patches or stripes - 20, marks on the face - 5, white hairs on the legs, or hooves - 16, the hair colour interpreted differently - 13), 17 names are based on other physical characteristics (behaviour and specific movements, or constitution - 12, there is one name
related to the horse’s hair, and four names related to the animal’s physical deformity or flaw), 18 names are based on the animal’s characteristics (12 names related to its behaviour and the way it moves and 6 names its age or birth order). Seventy-six examples are listed of names with indirect roots, such as those based on anthroponyms, 32 horse names derived from the names of other mammals, 20 horse names derived from a species of bird, four from a species of insects, and 11 horse names from plant species. One horse name was based on objects and phenomena related to the colour ginger, four relate to grey, four names relate to different types of colour, and one name is based on specific body markings (different colours). Thirty-eight horse names were found based on appellatives referring to humans, five names were based on mythological names,
seven horse names were related to ethnonyms, one horse name was related to the breed, two names to kinship, five names were based on toponyms, five names related to atmospheric phenomena, seven horses’ names reflected their relationship with their owner, and 26 horses had names with unclear roots. Two hundred and fifty-nine names with a direct root and 248 names with an indirect root are mentioned in this article, that is, a total of 507 names, to which twenty more should be added: 15 from Kurelac (1867),
three from Zovko (1896), and two from Zovko (1965), which are not included in the list of direct and indirect horse names. This brings the total up to 528 names mentioned, not listing the horse names based on the names of the gods of ancient civilizations (Greece, Egypt and Rome).
