{"title":"Folklore narratives on the toponymy of the Russian Far North (Based on the Yukaghir, Even, and Yakut languages)","authors":"Samona Nikolaevna Kurilova, Irena Semenovna Khokholova, Boris Yakovlevich Osipov, Jessica Kantarovich","doi":"10.1080/08003831.2023.2264661","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/08003831.2023.2264661","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTWe examine the historical toponymic system of the Russian Far North in the context of folklore traditions of Indigenous peoples of the North. Our methodology is narrative analysis, aimed at identifying the semantic features of toponyms, whose origins lie in traditional legends and tales. We treat toponyms as geocultural codes, which provide not only ethnocultural data but also geographic and spatial information. We present shared patterns in the naming practices of geo-objects among the Yukaghirs, Evens, and Yakuts (Sakha), and the ways that these practices are rooted in folklore. We also examine ethno-cultural differences in toponym naming among these three groups. We identify four broad strategies in the naming of geo-objects in northern regions: anthroponymic, commemoration of events, after sacred concepts, and after common household objects and concepts. In addition to linguistic information encoded by toponyms, it is also possible to establish extralinguistic information about the historical settlement of different peoples, contact among them, and their societal values. Such anthropological studies are relevant for onomastics and linguistic typology. Through the present study, we are able to gain a better understanding of Indigenous cultural development in the Russian Far North and the nature of inter-ethnic relations before written history.KEYWORDS: YukaghirsEvensYakuts (Sakha)toponymsetymologyfolklorespatial typology AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to express gratitude to the editorial board for its support and consideration on the paper.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1 A note about transliteration: Russian terms and toponyms are transliterated according to the system proposed by the United States Board on Geographic Names. Material presented in the Yukaghir, Even, and Yakut languages, which are also written in Cyrillic but whose phonologies differ significantly from Russian, is transliterated according to widely-accepted linguistic conventions for those languages.2 Uraankhai is an archaic ethnonym of the Sakha (Yakuts).3 “Story about Edilwej”, recorded by A. N. Laptev in 1959, from N. T. Trifonov in the village of Kolymskoe, Nizhnekolymskiy region, Yakutiya.4 The legend “Idilwej” recorded by G. N. Kurilov in 1963 from G. I. Kurilov in the village of Andryushkino, Nizhnekolymskiy region, Yakutia.5 According to another consultant, A.V. Kurilova, the oronym Čuon’el Ibal - a hill located next to the southern hill of the lake Bolshaya Olera - arose on the basis of the nickname for an old woman whose apron was hung with iron ornaments and who was buried there (Kurilov Citation1999, 35).6 The Yukaghir themselves cannot decide on the etymological root of the variant Id’ilwej, deriving it either from the transitive verb id’i “to kiss”, or else with the intransitive verb id’ilwe “to suffer, to grow tired” (N. N. Kurilov Citation1999, 17; G. N. Kurilov Citation2005, 31).7 Wolme","PeriodicalId":44093,"journal":{"name":"Acta Borealia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135597063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
