Solvita LABANAUSKIENĖ Institute of Lithuanian Language LATVIAN PLANT NAME o The material of the article —298 names of Latvian plant species, selected from two dictionaries of Jurgis (Ambraziejus) Pabrēza (1771-1849) —Taisla augimiu (1843, hereinafter TA) and Waardaa tayslvynee Augimiu (1834, hereinafter WTA). In ordering and creating Lithuanian plant names according to the system of plants established by Carl Linnaeus, J. Pabrėza relied on sources in other languages — books were downloaded from Vilnius, Petrapilis, Riga (Gidžiūnas 1993: 207). One of them was Oekonomisch-technische Flora von Wilhelm Christian Friebe (Riga, 1805) (preserved in the Rare Prints Department of the VU Library). The German author in his book presents not only Latin, German, but also Latvian, Estonian, Russian names of plants, as the title suggests, purposefully collected. It is from W. Ch. Friebe's dictionary Ockonomisch-technische Flora, as J. Pabrėža himself refers to the growth of Tuysla in the preface. Both his botanical jų dictionaries contained ir Latvian and Russian (maskol) names of ir plants. For all Lithuanian plant names, Latvian equivalents were not enough, because W. Ch. Frieze set is narrow and one-sidedSkas. The Latvian plant nomenclature was collected and studied later, in the second half of the 19th century. In 2003 appeared Inese Ēdelmane and Aria Ozola’s book Latviešu valodas augu nosaukumi (hereinafter LAN), in which the names of plants collected from all previous sources show the history of the formation of the Latvian terminology base in this field (Reidzanė 2003: V). It was used to check the forms of Latvian names in J. Pabrēza’s dictionaries. The aim of this review article is to compare the terms of Latvian and Lithuanian plant systematics by J. Pabrėža. TA and WTA Latvian plant names The first attempt to create and select botanical names was made by the WTA, and according to this, the largest scientific work of J. Pabrėža145
’s life, Taisla augimas, which covers nearly a thousand names of plant genera, was continued. Comparison of dictionaries. Taking Latvian names of plants, J. Pabrēza based on one German W. Ch. Friebes leidiniu Oekonomisch-technische Flora. However, there are differences in spelling and in the names of the plants themselves between WTA and TA. In the parentheses the author transposes Latvian and Lithuanian forms of plant names (the Latvian data are verified according to LAN, and the Lithuanian data — according to Giedrius Subačius’ research Jurgis Ambraziejus Pabrėžos žemaičių kalboje (Subačius 1996: 12-42)).

Synonymy and imagery. The basis of the study material consists t. y. of folk, dialect, plant names. A prominent Latvian terminologist V. The term is derived from the Greek ῥῆμα (rhēma). 2002: 41). A terminologist wrote about folk terminology in Lithuania J. Klimavicius: „in the tradition of Lithuanian linguistics, folk terminology is first raised as the most important source and example of scientific terminology. — it is impossible to imagine that the folk language would not have botany” (Klimavicius 1996: 4). Folk terminology is iš characterized by synonymy and imagery, expressiveness. The phenomenon of synonymy in botany, as in other fields, especially at the beginning of the formation of terminology, is inevitable. Synonymy can be determined by the commonness of the word in a ir particular dialect (Keinys — 1974: 46). J. The emphasis next to the Latin term provided one 147
scientific. In the German source, the Latvian plant names comprise as many as 60 synonym lines, they are used synonymously both in monoand bi-word names, therefore the TA also presents not only one, but also 2, 3 or even 4 synonyms. For example: lot. "Menyanthes trifoliata". Bunny patch. Puplatschi (~ puppu lappa. puplači) [cf. pup leaves, puplaci LAN] — lit. Pylwiity Puuplayszky (~ pilvity puplajskie) TA, lot. Rosa canina —latv. Ehrkschki. Wilke drihizehkle (érkski, wilke dricekle) [cf. erskis, vilka dricekle LAN] — liet. Erszkroožy Eerszkelis (~ thorn-rose thorn-rose) TA; lot. Scirpus caespitosus. Aschki dune. Meldi (~ aški doni, meldi) [cf. aki, doni, meldri LAN] — song. Smoklie kouksztotoji (~ slimy cough-eater) TA; lot. Calluna vulgaris. Wirsnes. A little bit. Black sash. Garszhe (~ tops, mellotnt, black slope, garse) [cf. tops, mellemi, garses LAN] — lit. Wvržis wysdrtvynesis (~ virzis vissurtiniasis) TA and others. Popular names of plants are characterized by visuality and vividness. In the words of Kazimieras Gaivenis, expressive terms are created even in systematic terminology (Gaivenis 1991: 29), J. Pabrėža, of course, took the Latvian names of plants from the already mentioned source, without selecting the figurative and non-figurative ones. But there are many picturesque ones. For example: : lot. "Hvpericus perforatum". Jahnu sahles (—Janu zales) TA [plg. Janu zales LAN] — lict. Jonoty parmatspougy (~ jonutė parmaitspougė) TA; lot. Pinguicula vulgaris — latv.

"Dewinmaacy minor (—ninynmacė minor) TA" (in Lithuanian). 148
Some current scientific names have changed, for example, Janu zales, divškautnu ne asinszale; Parascreio mus sivatae — ta LAN. The remaining imagery in the scientific name Verbascum lychnitis Latvian commonly — nivinviruspēks. Single-word species names.

Although the languages are closely related, there are more differences than similarities. Here are mentioned some Latvian peculiarities. In the Latvian plant nomenclature, Germanisms are distinguished, for example: lat. "Anethum graveolens". Dilles (—dilles) [plg. dille LAN], vok. Dill — light.

Viole borrowed, used in the current nomenclature (only instead of violes — violettes). It is probably a loanword from the Latin language: lat. "Viburnum opulus". Professions. Irbenaji (~ yrbenes, irbenaji) [cf. irbines, irbenajs LAN] — lit. Irbenis Pootelis (~ irbenis putelis) TA. It has been found that the TA index of Latvian language (hereinafter TAR) contains 30 Latvian plant names, which are not recorded in the dictionary itself. The Latin equivalent is given next to Latvian. Consequently, they are included under W. Ch. Friebe's book arrows. When checking by LAN, not all Latvian names are found. Some of them are mononymous plant names, for example: lat. Alnus glutinosa (L.) Elkschnis (—elkšnisYTAR [cf. elksnis LAN] — lit. "Alsnis glvytesis (—alksnis glitiasis lot. Euphorbia Esula — latv.

Two more Latvian names of plants are presented in TA index without Latin name or other reference: Rahinu saknes, Strallenes. Inaccuracies of W. Ch. In Friebe's Oekonomisch-technische Flora, there are names with question marks next to them. Apparently, it was not clear to the author whether such a plant name actually exists. J. Emphasizes less doubts and less question marks. According to LAN, these names are popular in Latvian dialects. For example: lot. "Carex arenaria". A sin (—grislis)? Maukley?
