Abstract:
In the light of historical, archaeological and linguistic data Western Bug ъl outlet in a common noun meaning "wet, damp earth"), advisable to distinguish several relatively homogeneous layers: 1. The early hydronyms of probable Indo-European substrate and hidden water etymology (for IV-V cent. BC) 2. basin hydronyms archaic layers was analyzed. Between the rivers Western Bug and Goryn recorded the highest concentration of Slavonic hydronyms (600) in the absence of the actual substrate layers, which indirectly indicates the archaic region. Slavic hydronyms are very heterogeneous both structural and word building, and by chronological and etymological features of modeling. Processes of hydronyms etymologization (especially the non-transparent parts) are not protected, in addition, the probability of subjective conclusion parts, and therefore require integrated use of word-formative, phonetic and lexical aspects of the study. As Celtic and Gothic historical layers defined some West. Bugs hydronyms prof. I.Svyentsitskyy (Bug, Belz, Rata, Strypa, Solokiya, Solotvyna). Russian historian I.Filevych noticed of similar hydronyms in various Slavic territories ecumene, and interpreted Volyn hidronimikon a genuine Rus (slave). Hydronyms stratigraphy application on the conventional model of Slavic ethnogenesis millennium AD. is a promising area of modern lingual and ethnographic research.
