Philology
scription of the place, that is descriptive naming. In this
mean words expressing relief of place are widely spread. But
most part of these morphemes are borrowed from other lan-
guages in historic times and have became archaic so proper
nouns can hardly classified as compound. Here we can note
the following words: E. g.
1) words expressing
relief
;
— Comb (old Scandinavian «top» or «wave») —
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
— Knoll (Celtic «small hill») —
— Wood —
Monkwood, Cauperwood
— ber, — bury (Old Eng. verb. «beorg» — mount)
Limber, Modbury, Salesbury
— den (Old Eng. «derm» — пастбище)
Thornden,
— den (Old Eng. «denu» — долина)
Debden
,
The same linguistic phenomenon can be found in the
same way even in Uzbek. There too many compound proper
nouns formed by means of words «kurgan, tepa, kuduk» that
are expressing relief of the place. E. g.
—
Kattakurgan, Okkurgan, Turakurgan,
—
Oktepa, Uratepa, Uchtepa,
—
Jalolkuduk, Uchkuduk
and so on.
2) Words expressing
part of land
—
fild
—
Chesterfield, Clanfield
.
—
ham
(Welsh «land») —
Needham Market, Bromham.
—
ton
(Scandinavian «land, castle») —
Knighton,
Brighton, Briton.
—
Shire (Welsh «land») — Berkshire, Staffordshire,
Yorkshire.
Oxfordshire,
—
Ley
(meadow)
Helmsley, Ridley
Some times there could be found some misunderstanding
in origin of such proper nouns caused by identical form of words
with present day English or Latin. Thus «
Skipton
» should be
«
Shipton
» (Old English
scipetun
— «sheep farm») and has
nothing to deal with present meaning of the word «skip», al-
though we have too many identical words in English or Latin.
The Uzbek people living on peasantry and handcrafting
less frequently used to name places by breeding words.
Though we can find some proper nouns bear similar ex-
pressing. For instance «
Shahrisabz
» — meant «city of
green grasses» but caused naming basing on not breeding
but as «a place for spring settlement in nature». There we
can occur many words taken from farming and gardening
composed from the word;
