Abstract

The history of how humans discovered percussion methods of fi re-lighting presupposes the primacy of the meaning ‘cut, hew' for Proto-Slavic *kresati, the ‘fi re striking' semantics of the verb being a more recent development. The article argues for the hypothesis that the noun *krasa, denoting a craf-ted piece perfect in shape = a beautiful object (cf. the motivational pattern of Latin formosus ‘shapely, beautiful'), could be a derivative of *kresati. The ‘fi re making' semantics developed by *kresati would in its turn moti-vate the shift towards the meaning ‘red (color)', by association with fire.
斯拉夫语*kras-的词源及语义史研究
人类如何发现打火照明方法的历史,预设了原始斯拉夫语*kresati中“砍,砍”的意思的首要地位,动词的“打火”语义是最近才发展起来的。这篇文章提出了一个假设,即表示形状完美的手工制品的名词*krasa =一个美丽的物体(参见拉丁语formosus的动机模式“形状,美丽”)可能是*kresati的衍生词。由*kresati开发的“造火”语义学反过来又通过与火的联系,促使“红色”的含义转向“红色”。
