A Scandinavian Island in a Slavonic Linguistic Environment. The Dialect of Gammalsvenskby: Nouns (Part 2)

introduction

The study of endangered languages as an urgent task of present-day linguistics

§ 1. Among the tasks of present-day linguistics one of the most urgent is the task of documenting those languages which face the danger of extinction. An endangered language is one whose number of speakers is approaching zero. This may be caused by the death of the last speakers or by the language shift that occurs when domains of language use are shrinking so that ultimately no one can use the language in any context. If one is to describe the current linguistic situation in the world concisely, unprecedented catastrophe would be the most relevant characterization. The catastrophe has been caused by the rapid decrease in the number of spoken languages, and its unprecedented scale is conditioned by its worldwide character. According to an estimation by David Crystal, at the turn of the third millennium 96% of the world’s population spoke only 4% of its languages. Correspondingly, only 4% of the population spoke 96% of the world’s languages [Crystal 2000: 14]. In a pessimistic scenario, 90% of languages will become either extinct or close to extinction during the current century [Crauss 1992: 7]; according to a more “optimistic” forecast, by the year 2100 half of the world’s languages will be extinct [Crystal 2000: 19].

The extinction of languages has taken place throughout the history of mankind, but in the present century, the epidemic of language extinction has struck all continents, not only certain disadvantaged regions. A particularly bitter tragedy occurs when a language not only disappears, but disappears undocumented and unresearched, i.e., disappears without a trace. There are currently 6,909 known spoken languages [Austin, Sallabank 2011: 3], although this is an approximate number. Establishing the exact number of languages is difficult, among other reasons due to the lack or the insufficiency of data on them. Meanwhile, those languages that are insufficiently explored may, with high probability, be in the risk group. Europe is the continent with the least linguistic diversity: only 3% of the world’s languages are situated here.1 Nevertheless, a language whose present-day state was uninvestigated has been discovered even in Europe: it is the dialect of Gammalsvenskby. Taking this into account, what might await discovery in regions with a high concentration of languages?

Though there is no uniformly grim forecast for all endangered languages, and despite reports of successful revitalization,1 2 the general tendency is a decrease in the number of spoken languages. In this respect the future world

1 Asia 33%, Africa 30%, the Pacific 19%, and the Americas 15% [Austin, Sallabank 2011: 5].

2 See, for example, [Kaia’titahkhe Annette Jacobs 1998] on successful efforts to preserve the Mohawk language in Quebec, Canada.

will become less varied and thus more primitive. However, this process can be, if not halted, at least slowed down. If a language is spoken by a few families and there are children who use it in “natural” communication, it stands a chance of survival. A language can be preserved only by the active interest, love, and respect of its speakers for their roots. In any case, documentation and study of minority languages and endangered languages are clearly what is needed on the part of linguists. Detailed and systematic descriptions are of the highest value as they most fully preserve the language for future studies and can provide a basis for its revitalization. However, any thorough linguistic description in the area of endangered languages, even if brief or dealing with a narrow topic, is valuable. Over the last two decades a number of monographs and collections of papers on various issues associated with endangered languages have been published: see, for instance, [Dorian 1989; Dixon 1997; Bradleys 2002; Tsunoda 2005; Harrison et al. 2008; Grenoble, Fur-bee 2010; Haig et al. 2011]. A number of foundations supporting studies of endangered languages have been set up; see the list in [Austin, Salla-bank 2011: 2]. In Russia, the Foundation for Fundamental Linguistic Research was launched in 2010 by Kirill Babaev; it focuses on supporting field research on endangered languages.

It might appear that describing a small and little known language which, to make things worse, is probably doomed to extinction, is too exotic, too narrow and, at the same time, too costly a task, however exciting it may be; moreover, it might seem that it is a task that would contribute little to the field of linguistics overall. The actual situation is in fact quite the opposite. Descriptions of unexplored or little explored languages are necessary for linguistic theory and, especially, for linguistic typology. Uninvestigated languages provide material that either changes or significally corrects conceptions of what is possible in human languages [Palosaari, Campbell 2011: 100-110]. The development of contemporary linguistics to a considerable extent depends on the study of unexplored languages and dialects.

This paper introduces factual material on nouns in the dialect of Gam-malsvenskby and lists all masculine nouns of types 1b, c, d, and e that have occurred in my interviews to date with fluent speakers.3 Before proceeding to the factual material, let us give a brief outline of the history of the village and the current linguistic situation there.

A Scandinavian Island in a Slavonic Linguistic Environment. The Dialect of Gammalsvenskby: Nouns (Part 2)

Berislav district of the Kherson region, on the bank of the Dnieper River. The official name of this area in the 19th century was Старошведская волость Херсонского уезда Херсонской губернии (“Old Swedish volost of the Kherson uyezd of the Kherson guberniya”). The village was founded in 1782 by migrants from the island of Hiiumaa (Sw. Dago) in the Baltic [Pisarevskii 1899: 249-250]. At that time this island belonged to the Russian Empire. The native language of the founders of the village was the dialect of Dago, which is one of the Swedish dialects of Estonia.4

In the 18th century regions adjacent to the North Coast of the Black Sea were thinly populated, and the government of Catherine the Great was implementing measures aimed at increasing the population of this area. The resettlement of Swedes from Dago was part of this process. The number of foreign colonists in that part of the Russian Empire was, in that period, very high, and the majority of the colonists was made up of Germans. In 1838 in the Kherson guberniya alone there were 39 German settlements [Zablotskii 1838: 5-6]. By the middle of the 19th century, the Kherson guberniya was a multinational region, as seen from statistical data on the non-Russian population of this governorate in 1852: “Moldavians 75,000, Germans 31,700, Jews Talmudists 22,424, Bulgarians 11,132, Greeks 3,500, Gypsies 2,516, Armenians 1,990, Poles 850, Karaites 446, Serbians 436, Swedes 168, in total 150,162” [Spisok 1852]. According to [Novorossiiskii kalendar' 1864: 121], in the southern Russian guberniyas (the Kherson, Yekaterinoslav, and Taurida gu-berniyas, and Bessarabia), the number of “Germans with a small number of Swedes and Swiss” was 151,925, whereas the number of Russians was 13,162.

In all likelihood, the number of residents of the Swedish colony has never exceeded 1,000. According to [Pisarevskii 1899: 249], the initial number of migrants from Dago was 966, of which only 880 reached their final destination on the bank of the Dnieper. Living conditions in the new place were hard (the climate of the region may appear rather harsh: cold, snowy winters and sweltering summers with 40°C as a usual temperature), and the number of settlers decreased quickly. By the year 1800, the population of the Swedish colony was 150 or 160 people [Skal'kovskii 1850: 265]. However, during the 19th century life in the village stabilized, and by the Revolution of 1917 there were 718 Swedes in the colony [Spisok 1917: 126]. In 1929 the Swedes of Gammalsvenskby managed to obtain a permit to emigrate to Sweden, but in 1931 some of them returned to the village.5 In the 1930s eighteen Swedes were killed in Stalin’s repressions. During the Second World War the Swedish population

of the village became subject to forced resettlement to Germany in the capacity of Volksdeutsche. After the war some of the Swedes returned to the village while the majority were sent to a “special settlement” in the Komi ASSR. The stay in Komi was fortunately not as prolonged as it could have been: due to the intervention of a Swedish engineer, who accidentally learned of the injustice against the Swedes, they were given permission to return to their home village. This happened in 1947, after approximately two years in Germany and two years in the Komi ASSR. The present-day Gammalsvenskby is a large village, though it still remains relatively remote and difficult to access. At present its population is ca. 2,000 people. An impression of the present-day village and the people there can be gained from an excellent photo album by Sved-berg and MArtensson [2001].

In 2004 I made my first trip to the village.6 In contrast to the history of the village itself, at that time nothing was known about the dialect and its speakers. There had been no systematic studies of the dialect since the beginning of the 20th century. Consequently, at the starting point of my research there was virtually no data on the present-day state of the dialect.7 As a result of that first trip, it became clear that the dialect has been preserved as a linguistic system (not as a mixture of, for example, Standard Swedish, German, and Russian/Ukrainian interspersed with odd dialect elements), and its discovery is a major finding in the field of Germanic and Scandinavian linguistics. The current objective is detailed documentation and description of the dialect. Up to now I have made ten expeditions to Gammalsvenskby and published an outline of the phonetics of the dialect [Mankov 2010 a], a brief description of nouns [Mankov 2010b; 2011b], adjectives and pronouns [2011c], and verbs [2012a], and an outline of word formation of nouns [2012b; 2013c]. These papers deal with the variety of the dialect spoken by the fluent speakers. The study of the language of the semi-speakers and of structural changes taking place in the dialect was begun in [Mankov 2013d].

§ 3. From a linguistic point of view, the population of the village is made up of the following groups:

1) Speakers of Russian and Russian-Ukrainian who have no relationship to the dialect. They constitute the majority.

2) Children of the older generation of Swedes who were born in the 1950s-

6 This trip took place as part of the project “Gammalsvenskby, the Swedish Colony in the Ukraine” organized by Sodertorn University College, Stockholm, and funded by the Swedish Institute and the Foundation for Baltic and East European Studies, Sweden.

A report on the work carried out by 2011 is in [Mankov 2011a].

7 For example, there is no mention of the dialect in [Iazyki narodov SSSR 1966] and in [Comrie 1981]. The dialect is briefly referred to in [Haugen 1976: 353], however with no mention that it is still spoken in the village.

1970s. Their main language is Russian-Ukrainian. Standard Swedish is taught as a supplementary subject at school and many representatives of this group have a certain command of it. No one in this group is able to speak the dialect and thus serve as a linguistic informant in its study. They recall how their grandparents spoke the dialect, but exclusively among themselves and never with the younger generation, and they note that this was done deliberately.

3) Ethnic Swedes of the older generation born in the 1920s-1930s. Their number does not exceed fifteen persons. This group is the object of my study. Their main language now is Russian-Ukrainian, though they often use the Swedish dialect in everyday conversations. All of them possess a good command of German, and many of them learned Standard Swedish at a young age either from their parents or at school and they are able to speak it, although of course in a somewhat different manner than present-day “Swedish” Swedes.

My work in 2004 and 2005 began by selecting informants in order to develop a basic grammar. All speakers of the dialect were interviewed. The main criterion in making this selection was the consistency of inflection and the preservation of the dialect vocabulary. The linguistic situation in Gam-malsvenskby is characterized by the fact that speakers of the dialect are not uniform in their linguistic competence. Such a lack of uniformity is a common feature of a community where an endangered language is spoken. The main types of speakers that are distinguished in this regard are fluent speakers, semi-speakers, and terminal speakers [Dorian 1977; Grinevald, Bert 2011: 49-51], i.e., speakers with linguistic competence of high, medium, and low levels. Highly competent speakers are also called “conservative.” All these types of speakers are found in the present-day village. The dialect variety of those whose parents were Swedish and who spoke the dialect as their main language in childhood is different from those whose parents (or one parent) were not Swedish and who therefore did not speak the dialect in childhood. The present-day fluent speakers spoke the dialect as the main language in childhood, whereas the semi-speakers acquired knowledge of the dialect as their second or third language and did not speak it actively in childhood. Thus, in the case of Gammalsvenskby the linguistic competence and the preservation of the language is conditioned by how much it was spoken in childhood. In addition to linguistic considerations in choosing the informants, their personal qualities had to be taken into account as well: their willingness to be communicative, availability of time for interviews, capability of answering questions clearly, and comprehensible pronunciation. My fieldwork up to 2012 was concentrated on interviewing the following three informants: Anna Semionovna Liutko (1931-2013), Lidiia Andreevna Utas (born in 1933), and Melitta Fridrikhovna Prasolova (born in 1926). They speak the most conservative variety of the dialect. The majority of forms and phrases have been obtained from Lidiia

Utas. She has a prodigious memory; according to her own testimony, many of the words that she cited in interviews she last heard or used more than half a century ago. Despite this, she easily gave word forms necessary to establish paradigms and cited examples of their usage. It should be noted that all conservative speakers draw a conscious distinction between Standard Swedish and the dialect. As a brief example, L. Utas clearly perceives such verbs as befall ‘order,’ bemarke ‘notice,’ besike ‘visit,’ bevar ‘defend,’ skrakke ‘frighten’ as Standard Swedish8 and cites their dialect equivalents: sate 'po, bli de 'vass-e, kuma nast non, vdr, radd 'o.

Describing the conservative variety of the dialect, however important it is, does not produce a complete picture. In reality, there is no uniform dialect equally shared by all members of the community. In order to carry out a truly comprehensive study, we should take into account all of its varieties. During the expedition of 2012 I started to collect material on the variety spoken by the semispeakers, namely the sisters Emma Utas (born in 1932) and Elsa Kozenko (born in 1930); preliminary results of this study are presented in [Mankov 2013b]. Among the grammatical features of the language of semi-speakers, the most prominent is a high frequency of free variation [Campbell, Muntzel 1989; Palosaari, Campbell 2011]. In morphology, free variation implies expressing the same grammatical meaning with several interchangeable forms which occur without any regularity. Free variation takes place in the speech of fluent speakers as well but in their case, the occurrence of forms is generally quite predictable. In the speech of semi-speakers, the occurrence of forms is much less predictable. Furthermore, in their speech the number of forms does not decrease but in fact it increases (see examples in [Mankov 2013d]). The “conservative” variety of the dialect represented by its fluent speakers serves as a basis and a starting point in the study of the dialect, whereas material obtained from semispeakers will provide the opportunity for comparison and will therefore allow us to study structural changes taking place in the dialect.

The dialect of Gammalsvenskby is of interest to slavists as an example of a language island in the Slavonic environment. Before the resettlement from Dago in the 18th century, the dialect was in contact with Estonian, and during the entire 19th century and up to the middle of the 20th century, it was in contact with German, which was due to the fact that there were a number of German settlements in the neighborhood of the Swedish village. From the middle of the 20th century the main language of all residents of Gammalsvenskby, including the Swedes, has been Russian-Ukrainian (a mixed variety called суржик/surzhik); it is the dominant language of present-day speakers of the dialect. The situation

of multilingualism seems to affect the semi-speakers the most, as gaps in the knowledge of the dialect should be compensated from other sources, i.e., from Russian-Ukrainian, German, and Standard Swedish. I will address the phenomena that are caused by language contact in a separate study. For now, the most urgent task is to collect, classify, and publish factual material on the synchronic state of the dialect. This will provide a basis for a more in-depth study of the contact between the dialect and its Slavonic environment.

Previous studies of the dialect

§ 4. The pioneer in the study of the dialect of Gammalsvenskby was the outstanding Swedish dialectologist Herman Vendell. He visited the village in June 1881 [Vendell 1989] and collected a large amount of lexical material for his Ordbok ofver estlandssvenska dialekterna (“Dictionary of the Swedish Dialects of Estonia”) [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886]. This dictionary remains the only published source for the vocabulary of the dialect. The only description of the grammar is a brief article by Anton Karlgren written in 1906 and published in 1953 by Nils Tiberg [Karlgren 1953]. Another important work is Tiberg’s monograph Estlandssvenska sprakdrag (“Linguistic Features of Swedish Dialects of Estonia”) [Tiberg 1962]. Tiberg did not visit the village but interviewed those speakers of the dialect who had emigrated to Sweden in 1929. He used data from Gammalsvenskby to describe phonological and morphological features of Swedish dialects of Estonia, but does not give a systematic description of the dialect. Tiberg also compiled a card dictionary of Swedish dialects of Estonia, which is kept at Sprak- och folkminnesinstitutet (SOFI) in Uppsala [Bergfors 1981]. Another unpublished work kept at SOFI in Uppsala is the material for the dictionary of the dialect collected by J. Utas [Utas 1979; Bergfors 1978-1979]. Brief information about the dialect is given in [Joalaid, Juhkam 1989].

The most fully described Swedish dialect of Estonia is the dialect of Nu-cko, now extinct.9 Karlgren’s informants were born in the 1840s and in the 1860s-80s; his data therefore belongs to an entirely different epoch and cannot serve as a source for the synchronic study of the dialect. However, his data, together with Vendell’s and Danell’s works, is a source for the history of the dialect and allows us to study the relationship between the present-day state of the grammar and vocabulary and their state at the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries.

A work summarizing the Swedish dialects of Estonia is [Lagman E. 1979]. Fundamental studies of the phonetics and grammar of East Swedish dialects

are [Hultman 1894] and [Hultman 1939], and a bibliography of Gammal-svenskby and Swedish settlements in Estonia is contained in [Appelgren 1997].

It should be noted that Vendell’s dictionary of 1886 received extremely harsh criticism from Swedish dialectologists; see for example [Danell 19051934: 8-13]. With regard to nouns, the drawback of this dictionary is its incomplete morphological descriptions: only the plural form is cited, although a morphological classification requires indication of the definite singular as well [Mankov 2011b: § 5]. In my interviews I have compared the bulk of Vendell’s dictionary with the data from three fluent speakers. If a word cited by Vendell was familiar to them, the forms they cited are, in most cases, identical to those given by Vendell. If phonetic and morphological discrepancies occur, only in rare cases do they appear to be inaccuracies that cannot be explained by a process of linguistic change. A more serious problem is in fact not such discrepancies but rather the very large number of words in Vendell’s dictionary that are unknown to the present-day speakers. However, Vendell collected his material in 1881, and it is separated from my interviews by an interval of more than 120 years. In Vendell’s day, the dialect was the main language for its speakers, whereas for present-day speakers it ceased to be the main language many decades ago. Bearing in mind the circumstances in which the dialect existed after the Revolution of 1917, the divergence between Vendell’s data and modern data appears understandable. Inaccuracies which are presumably contained in Vendell’s dictionary are fully justified by the pioneering character and the scale of his work, which in addition was carried out single-handedly in a relatively short period of time. It should be remarked that the dictionary of the dialect of Nucko came out almost fifty years after the beginning of Danell’s work, while lexical materials collected by Karlgren and Tiberg remained unpublished.

Organization of the data

§ 5. The factual data presented below is organized according to the following scheme:

1) dialect noun with a translation and phonetic variants (if any);

2) all known derivatives and compounds;

3) phrases from interviews illustrating the usage (in some cases I cite not only short phrases and sentences but also fairly extensive narratives, which will allow the reader to form a more general impression of the dialect);

4) cognates, if any, from the main published studies of Swedish dialects of Estonia, namely, from [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886; Karlgren 1953; Danell 1951; Isberg 1970].

Vendell uses the following abbreviations for the dialects: D — Dago, G — Gammalsvenskby, N — Nucko, O — Ormso, R — Rago (LillR — Lilla Rago,

StorR — Stora Rago), and W — Wichterpal (Vippal). For example, DGNORW after a certain form means that it was recorded in the dialects of Dago, Gammalsvenskby, Nucko, Ormso, Rago, and Vippal. I preserve these abbreviations when referring to Vendell’s dictionary. Instead of full forms of the plural given by Vendell, I indicate only endings (if the root is unchanged in the plural). Translations in Vendell that are identical to the translation of the entry word are not repeated. For example, the entry for ‘brush’ in Vendell’s dictionary looks like this:

bost, pl. bostar, m. Borste. DGNORW

In this paper it is quoted as follows:

bost, -arm. DGNORW [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 28].

With respect to information quoted from [Danell 1951], instead of numbers referring to the declension type, I give the endings of nouns. For example, “host m. 1” in Danell’s dictionary is cited as “host, -n, -ar, -a m. [ibid.: 39]” in this paper.

Material from preceding studies is given in this paper in its original orthography, i.e., exactly as it appears in publications by Vendell, Danell, and others. An outline of orthographic systems employed for Swedish dialects of Estonia as well as a detailed table of correspondences between my orthography and the preceding orthographies are given in [Mankov 2010a; Mankov 2013a].

In most cases the usage examples from my interviews are given with the initials of the informant who cited them:

AA — Anna Andreevna Annas (born in 1936);

AL — Anna Semionovna Liutko (1931-2013);

AP — Anna Matveevna (Matsovna) Portje (1923-2008);

EU — Emma Ivanovna Utas (born in 1932);

LU — Lidiia Andreevna Utas (born in 1933);

MP — Melitta Fridrikhovna Prasolova (born in 1926).

§ 6. For the present-day dialect I have developed the following orthography:

Vowels: a [a], a [a:], e [e], ё [e:\ e:],10 i [i], i [i:], o [o], о [o:], u [u], й [u:], y [y], a [e], a [e:], о [re], о [re:], й [e], ti [a:], ai [ei, ei], ой [re:a, гей].

Consonants: b [b], d [d], d [d],/ [f], g [g], h [h],j [j], k [k], l [l], l Щ, m [m], n [n] ([g] in front of k), n [n], у [g],p [p], r [r], s [s], s [f], t [t], t [t], r [v], x [x],

z [zL z [з].

The consonants p, t, k are not aspirated; d, t, n are postalveolar d, t, n (as in Standard Swedish). The combinations dj, gj, nj, sj, tj designate palatalized consonants; skj, stj are [skj, stj]. The length of consonants within morphemes 10

is designated by doubling the letter: tummar ‘empty.’ If a long consonant occurs in front of another consonant within a morpheme, its length is not designated: vant [ven:t] ‘to wait,’ whereas on morpheme boundaries it is designated: tumm-t (neuter sg. of tumm-ar). The hyphen is employed to show elements of compounds (e.g., sir-boss ‘sorrel soup,’ hjol-slae ‘killed’ (participle), soss-som ‘because’) and enclitic forms of personal pronouns (e.g., in hav-e ‘had it,’ var-e ‘was it,’ to-de ‘when you’11); it is also used on word boundaries where postalveolar consonants occur (e.g. va-n < var han ‘was he’). Word stress is shown only when it does not fall on the first syllable: konnfd re ‘why,’ loqafiar ‘long ago,’ aldina ‘alone.’ Phrase stress is shown with ', e.g., slu 'hjol. Phonetic variants are divided with /, morphological with //.

Declension types of masculine nouns

§ 6. In order to establish the paradigm of a noun and determine the declension type, I asked the informants to cite the following forms: with the numeral/ pronoun ‘one’ (to elicit the indefinite singular); with the pronouns ‘this’ or ‘that’ (definite singular); with the pronoun mike ‘many’ (indefinite plural); and with the pronouns ‘these’ or ‘those’ (definite plural).

Morphonological types of masculine nouns and their endings are shown in the table: *

A Scandinavian Island in a Slavonic Linguistic Environment. The Dialect of Gammalsvenskby: Nouns (Part 2)

The principles of classification as well as the correlation between my classification and those of Karlgren and Danell are discussed in [Mankov 2011b]; the history of the endings is described in [Mankov 2010b].

Type m. 1b

§ 7. A distinguishing feature of this type is the ending -n (usually -n after d and t) in the definite singular form. It is here that nouns with the following stem finals belong: d (but not nd), d, t, t, s, s, rr; occasionally l after a consonant or an unstressed vowel [Mankov 2010b: § 12.2].

In interviews with LU and MP (but not with AL) the ending -en occasionally occurs alongside -n in the definite singular. This may be caused both by the influence of the more numerous nouns of type m.la and the phonetic change -n > -en which is due to the loss of the syllabic character of -n. The nouns borr ‘burr’ and Nuden “the North” (this is what the Swedes of Gammalsvenskby call the Komi ASSR) occurred only with the ending -en, thus they cannot be included in type m. lb.

As far as one can judge by Karlgren’s examples, at the time of his research (i.e., in 1904-1905) nouns with stems terminating in d, d, t, t, s, s and in the retroflex s (which does not exist in the present-day dialect) had a syllabic -n in the definite sg.: buldn (buld ‘abscess’), gadn (gad ‘yard’), hatn (hat ‘hat’), bostn (host ‘brush’), brimsn (brims ‘gadfly’), fo§n (fo_s ‘rapids in a river’), hasp (has ‘neck’) [Karlgren 1953: 17]. Nouns in l and rr had a non-syllabic -n: tafeln, snarn [ibid.: 18]. In the dialect of Nucko, nouns terminating in d, d, t, t, s, s and in the voiceless l had a syllabic -n in the definite sg.: bildn (bild ‘ploughshare’), godn (god yard’), кшт (krnt ‘fir cone’), bostn, isn (is ice’), hasn (has ‘neck’), k&ln (k&l ‘kettle’), while nouns in l as well as monosyllabic nouns in r had an ordinary -n: kiln (kil ‘wedge’), Ьшгп (Ьшг ‘cage’) [Danell 1905-1934: 102-103]. It should be noted that in the present-day dialect of Gammalsvenks-by, in contrast to Nucko, nouns in l and ll after a stressed vowel belong to type

m. la (i.e., have the definite sg. in -en rather than -n), while nouns in r belong to type m. lc: the definite sg. of btir ‘cage’ is btirn in Nucko, btin in Gammals-venskby. It should also be remarked that according to Danell, in the dialect of Nucko the dental n after postalveolar consonants was more frequent than the postalveolar n: bostn ‘the brush’ instead of bostN [ibid.: § 32].

§ 8. Nouns of type m. lb which have occurred in the interviews:

1. blikst ‘lightning’: BlikstnDERSG slu 'inn ot stjtie, ter var iqen ant terinn ote koman, a soss var-e fullt ma raik ote koman, o blummana lo umm golve htar kvatana kasta.

full of smoke, and the flowers were scattered all over the floor. If there had been someone in the room, it would probably have killed him. Mommy was at work, and Grandma was in the yard, she was cooking something to eat’; To ve var toe Север, so slu-e an mann 'xjol, blikst. Han staiv 'upp o gi unde tra, o ter slu-e 'xjol-en. He slu 'innpo-en, som-en stu 'unde, an kattisn brann 'sundar, o ain rondpo kruppen. Tom gitsa, an-en kumar 'tjo-se, a han blai 'o dear LU ‘When we were in the North (i.e., in the Komi ASSR), it killed a man, lightning. He stood up and went under a tree, and there it killed him. It struck him when he was standing underneath, so that his cap was burned through and there was a streak on his body. They thought that he would regain consciousness, but he was dead.’

|| Vendell and Danell cite only the corresponding verb: blikst DOGN ‘to glimmer, flash’ [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 25], blakst ‘to flash’ DG [ibid.: 27]; bhkst ‘to twinkle’ [Danell 1951: 30]. Vendell recorded the following words for ‘lightning’: blikk, -ar m. NOW, blakstand, -er n. D [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 25, 27].

2. blUd ‘saucer’ (< Russ. блюдо ‘dish’): katt-bltid ‘cat saucer’; Ja hallt 'inn gradd otme e bltidnDERSG. LU ‘I poured sour cream in the saucer’;Ja kann ribl 'inn mindare bitar tite bltidnDERSG. o rer 'hUp-e me gradd LU ‘I can crumble smaller bits into the saucer and mix it with sour cream.’

|| This word is absent from Vendell’s and Danell’s dictionaries.

3. bolt ‘bolt’

|| bolt, -arm. ‘bolt’ W, ‘pendulum bob’ N [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 28]; bolt, -n, -ar, -a m. [Danell 1951: 60].

4. boss: ‘beet soup’ (< Russ. борщ): sir-boss ‘soup with sorrel’; Umm-de har katt, so kasta-de ale fast kate 'inn de kuk, a ant, so bliar-e smalsandar boss LU ‘If you have meat, first of all you throw the meat on to cook, and if you don’t, then it’s “fried” beet soup.’

|| This word is absent from Vendell’s and Danell’s dictionaries.

5. bost ‘brush’: farg-bost ‘paintbrush’; roka-bost ‘shaving brush’; Gnie ant ma bostnDE¥SG,fore-e an-en bliarskarpar, han bostnDERSG.

9. bass, also for-bass ‘male sheep’

|| bass, -arm. DGNORW [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 38]; bos, -n, -ar, -a m. ‘(castrated) male sheep’ [Danell 1951: 67].

|| bud, -arf. G, m. D [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 36]; buld, -n, -ar, -a m. [Karlgren 1953: 17]; bej, -e, -er, -e n. [Danell 1951: 68].

Gender fluctuation between the forms recorded by Vendell, Karlgren, and Danell, as well as phonetic differences may be caused by a contamination of the following forms: PGerm. *bul-id-o f., *bul-di- f. (probably also m.), *bul-da- m.//n. A similar derivational synonymy is found in Goth. ganists f. ‘salvation’ (*-ti-) on the one hand, and OEng., Olcel. nest n. ‘viands’ (*-to-) on the other. As the combination ld in the dialects of Gammalsvenskby and Nucko is retained and does not give d (see examples in [Mankov 2010a: § 10.3]), the consonant d in Vendell’s bud and Danell’s bej may go back to ld, where the retroflex l is explained by its originally intervocalic position: *buld- < PGerm. *bul-id-o. This PGerm. form accounts for Vendell’s bud. In Danell’s dictionary, bej e goes back to y,12 which appeared either by contamination with *bul-di- (> *byld- > *byld > *bold > *bold > bed) or by analogy with i-umlauted i-stems (such as Olcel. skyld). The form btild m., recorded in present-day Gammalsvenskby goes back either to PGerm. *bul-da- m. or to *bul-di- m. The fluctuation between masc. and fem. in the reflexes of the i-stem *bul-di- is parallelled by OSw. byrp f.//burper m. ‘bearing.’13 Forms with the suffix *-da- fluctuated

12 See [Danell 1905-1934: 98] for details of the change y > e.

13 According to Olson, the gender change fem. > masc. in nouns with the suffix *-ti- as well as the gender fluctuation f.//m. (as in OSw. byrp//burper) was caused by the influ-

between the masculine and neuter,14 thus the neuter gender of Nucko beD may go back to PGerm. *bul-da- n. The corresponding OSw. noun byldf. (Sw. bold) goes back to *bul-di- f. [Olson 1916: 326]. It should be noted that together with forms in *-ido-, *-di-, *-da- there exist forms which might go back to the suffixes *-d-an- (Sw. bolde ‘boil’ [SAOB: B3791]) and *-d-on- (Icel. bdlda f. ‘round-faced woman; small axe’ [Bodvarsson 1993: 115]).

11. dans ‘dance’

In a context in which this noun should be expected, the verbal noun in -ande (see [Mankov 2013c]) is used: Pikana bar оpo dansande LU ‘The girls went to the dances’; Han gipo dansande, de drikk o dans LU ‘He went to a discotheque, to drink and dance.’

|| dans, -ar m. DGNORW [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 39]; dans, -n, -ar, -a m. [Danell 1951: 71].

12. fis-stjatt (pronounced [fiffiet:] LU, [ fijltjet:] AL), alsofisstjatt АА ‘scolopendra’: Ja vatna trana, o vatne rinndar o rinndar, innot ait hol, o sann komm dartit an fiss-tjatt fron tarfron, fron he hole som vatne rann 'inn.

Tom sai, an dom o bitas LU ‘I was watering the trees, and the water is running and running into a hole, and then a scolo-pendra came out of there, from the hole that the water was running into. It was about 20-25 centimetres long, big, as thick as a finger, and red. It really scared me. They say that they also bite.’

|| This noun is absent from Vendell’s and Danell’s dictionaries. The first component may be related to Icel.fis n. ‘chaff; wound’ (e.g. in compounds fishall or halfis ‘sore heel’ [Bodvarsson 1993: 206]), to Russ. пихать, PIE. *peis-/ pis- ‘grind’; see [Pokorny 1959: 796]. The second component is stjatt ‘tail.’ The second component in barefis (§ 8.8 above) does not belong here and goes back to the homonymic PIE. root *peis- ‘blow.’

13. foss ‘rapids; current’: Fossnjar stUran LU ‘The current is strong’; Umm-de rokar bra, so kann-de do roka 'tit, a umm ant, so kann han fossndersg. bara o ma-de, o kann-de an drunken 'o, fore he vriss, he vatne, to-e fltitar, o he jar hole stutt, stUran foss.

This was at our place, when we lived in Север’ (i.e., in the Komi ASSR).

|| -n -ar, -a m. [Karlgren 1953: 17].

27. is only sg. ‘ice’: is-bita m.3a ‘block of ice’; is-klomp m.1a ‘lump of ice’; is-laggatar ‘ice-covered; icy’; Vagenjar is-laggatar: he ravna o varfrost, ojarvagen fulldar (also tafftar) ma is LU ‘The road is icy: it has rained and there has been frost, and the road is covered in ice (“full with ice”)’; Traske frousfast, isnDERSG. stor rai MP ‘The river has frozen over, ice has already formed’; lsnDERSG jar rai sundar-lendest LU ‘The ice has already melted’; Min bo sinnar, Arvid o Vova, varpo isnDEESG, o han isn var ant tjokkar, tar laifft dom, o so broutest-n girm, han mindare.

|| knops, -n, -ar, -a m. ‘outgrowth,’ also as an interjection [Danell 1951: 208]. Vendell recorded knops, -ar m. ‘bud’ only in the dialect of Ormso and compared it with Germ. Knospe f. ‘bud’ [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 108]. Lagman also included this noun in the list of German loanwords, supposing the metathesis sp > ps [Lagman 1973: 33]. However, the gender difference and phonetic discrepancy make the relationship with the German word unclear. I suggest that knops was derived from knupp ‘bud’ with the diminutive -s- (the same as in, e.g., tups m. ‘bow,’ to tupp m. ‘plait’).

According to Karlgren, at the time of his research, monosyllabic nouns with stems in l had the retroflex n in the definite sg.: ston (sto§ ‘chair’). Nouns with stems in r (both monosyllabic and disyllabic) had n in the def. sg.: bun (bur ‘cage’) [Karlgren 1953: 18]. In the dialect of Nucko, monosyllabic nouns in l had the fusion ln > n (occasionally also n) in the def. sg.: stop. In nouns whose stems end in r, the fusion rn > n does not take place: brnrn (def. sg. of brnr ‘cage’). Disyllabic nouns fluctuate between the dental and postalveolar n in the def. sg. [Danell 1905-1934: 49, 103].

§ 10. The following nouns of this type have occurred in the interviews:

1. bugar ‘type of plough’ (< Germ. Bucker): Ute han bugandefsg. sata-de 'unde aiken o a-de ma-en LU ‘You fasten this bugar to the horse and plough with it.’

|| bugr, -ar m. G [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 34]; bugger [Karlgren 1924: 31]. According to Karlgren, this type of plough was invented by South Russian Germans and replaced in Gammalsvenskby the plough called sak. Regarding the correlation between ck (in Bucker) and g (in bugar), it should be noted that the voicing of k and the alternation k/g in intervocalic position is widespread both in Gammalsvenskby and in cognate dialects. Examples: diken MP, dikn AL alongside digen LU ‘twenty-four hours’; viku AL and vigu LU; hako ‘chin,’ kaku ‘cake,’ tikol ‘brick’ and hagu, kagu, tigal in the dialect of Dago [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 76, 98, 232]; nagu and naku ‘looks; appearance’ NW [ibid.: 157, 158]; staka and staga ‘table-glass’ G [ibid.: 219]; spikar GNORW and spigar D ‘pantry’ [ibid.: 206].

2. bur ‘cage’

|| bur, -arm. DGNRW, -ern. O [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 36]; bmr/ bar, -n, -ar, -a m. [Danell 1951: 60].

3. digar LU, dikar MP AL ‘ten’ (def. sg. diken AL, digan LU; pl. dikrar, digrar; def. pl. digra, dikrana, digrana): an digar aggar ‘ten eggs’; An digar jar

tistikke LU ‘One digar means ten’; tfo digra0EE PL. LU ‘two tens’; tri digrarm0ERPL. LU ‘three tens’17

This noun was originally a м-stem and should have had a vowel alternation in the root (like sonn ‘son,’ pl. sinnar); compare OSw. tjugher, tiogher, pl. tighir m. ‘ten’ (noun). The singular forms dikar/digar go back to the plural tighir, having supplanted the original singular form: instead of *an tjtig ‘ten’ (which would be a phonetically regular form) one began to say an tigar by analogy with tfo tigar ‘two tens; score,’ after which the noun went over to type m.1c. The form dikar with initial d instead of t can be explained through a metathesis of voicing: *tigar > dikar. The form digar instead of *tigar is probably due to assimilation in reference to voicing.18 Alternatively, digar may have appeared due to the voicing of k in dikar.

11 dikar, pl. dikra m. (according to Tiberg’s note, the plural in -a occurs only after numerals) [Karlgren 1953: 19].

4. djavol (def. sg. djavan) ‘devil’

|| diwval, pl. diwvlar m. G [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 41]; davok, also diavol, diavok [Danell 1951: 75].

5. doftor ‘doctor’ (< Russ. or Germ.). Forms of this noun having occurred in the interviews:

Sg. Def. sg. Pl. Def. pl.

MP doftar doftan doftrar doftrana

LU doftar doftan doftrar doftarna

AL doftor dofton doftrar doftora

Unstressed a instead of о in doftar appeared under the influence of bugar, jigar, and other nouns in -ar. Phonetically regular plural forms of doftor are *doftorar, def. doftora (unstressed о is not syncopated in the dialect [Mankov 2010b: § 39]). The syncopated plural forms doftrar, doftrana derive from doftar rather than doftor.

|| doftor, -erm. G [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 42]; doftar, -an/-aq, -er, -e m. [Danell 1951: 75].

6. eyol ‘maggot’: Flou skait ut-se po he kate haldar po fiska. O iylarEL, tom site ant oapo, a kroka 'inn djipare, o tom vuzl tarinn ute he kate LU ‘The fly laid maggots in the meat or in the fish. And maggots, they don’t sit above but crawl deeper inside, and they swarm there in that meat’; Kate har iylarPL. ute se, to kan о ant si-dom, tom iyladef pl., man to-de byre skoa batrare, so kan-de si,

17 In the last two examples a fluctuation between the def. pl. digra and indef. pl. digrar takes place after a numeral.

18 An example of a distant assimilation with reference to quality is sustar < sustar ‘shoemaker’ (compare Lat. quinque ‘five’ < *penkwe).

an-e r[e ]ss (< rers) tarinn LU ‘There are maggots in the meat, you still can’t see them, those maggots, but when you start to look closer, you can see that it is moving in there.’

Compare Germ. Egel m. ‘leech’ and Engerling m. ‘grub of a cockchafer’ [Danell 1951: 179; Lagman 1973: 23]. The form iqol is possibly a result of the contamination of these words.

11 eggler only pl., m. G ‘pinworm’ [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 48]; eggo§, egg§a, -§ar, -§a f. ‘leech’ [Danell 1951: 179].

You can also pour a little fresh cream into it also. Grandad ordered us to take a bit of bread and to eat.’

9. gavol (also stjti-gavol) ‘gable’: seqe-gavol ‘headboard’; stUl-gavol, -an ‘back of a chair’; Ja vait, an gamma keft ter ain seq ot me, o hon var ma jendar gavol...jen gavla rPL. ‘I know that Grandma bought a bed for me there, and it was with an iron board... iron boards.’

The following forms occurred in interviews with MP and LU: gavol, gavan/gaven, gavlar, gavlana. In interviews with AL: gavol, gavan, gavnar, gavna (gavnar is a plural form of type m.1d; compare kavnar pl. of kaven ‘watermelon’).

past, the sky used to be full of stars, but now they aren’t visible, only the moon can shine’ (i.e., you can only see the moon and not the stars).

The form himmal occurred in interviews with LU. AL cites the following forms: himm(a)l, def. sg. himm(a)l (type m.1d) / himm(a)ln (type m.1b); in these forms l instead of l is due to the influence of Germ. Himmel and Sw. himmel.

|| himmal, -lar m. DG, himul NO, himal RW [Freudenthal, Ven-DELL 1886: 81]; himok, himon, himkar, himka m. [Danell 1951: 159].

11. hummol (def. sg. humman AL) only sg. ‘hop’ (plant). In an interview with LU this noun occurred with a neuter def. sg. form hummle.

|| hummal only sg., m. DGW, compare humul NO, humal D, htimmal R [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 86]; homok/homok, -oq m. [Danell 1951: 166].

12. huyar ‘hunger’: huya-tin m. 2a (def. sg.) ‘famine; the time of starvation’; Ja orkar iyatiy ant fore huyan D EFSG. ‘I can’t do anything because I’m so hungry’; Ute huyatin blai mike dear LU ‘In the time of famine many died.’

|| huggor only sg., m. G, compare huggur m. O [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 86]; hoggor, -oq m. [Danell 1951: 167].

13. jegar ‘hunter’ (< Germ. Jager). Instead of a specific definite singular form (jegan, occurring in interviews with LU), AL uses the indefinite form, which is typical of loanwords.

|| iegor, -er m. G [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 93], compare iwgar O, ixgor, -er m. RW [ibid.: 97]; iagar, -aq/-an, -er, -e m. [Danell 1951: 182].

14. klOndrar only pl. ‘clods of dry dung or mud’: Ktida holdar о de varm se e skone, hon kann laggjas 'ner tite-e de bosa se. He bliar som klondrar 'umm-on LU ‘The cow likes to warm itself in the dung, it can lie down in it to warm itself. It (the dung) forms clods on it (i.e., on the cow).’

11 Compare the verb klondor ‘rumble,’ recorded only in Vippal (according to Vendell, it goes back to Middle Low German klundern) [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 105].

15. kolendar ‘calender’ (< Est. kalender or Germ. Kalender).

According to both AL and LU, the definite singular form is the same as the

indefinite, which is typical of loanwords; pl. kolendar LU, kolendrar AL; def. pl. kolendarna LU, kolendra AL.

|| kalendor (indef. and def. sg. are not distinguished) [Karlgren 1953: 18] ; kaiondor [Danell 1951: 192]; kalendor m. [Isberg 1970: 146].

17. kriyal ‘bagel’ (< Germ. Kringel m.).

Cognate dialects retain the original feminine form (compare Icel. kring-la, diminutive of kringr ‘ring’): kriggal DGRW, kriggul NO, -lar DGNO, -ler RW f. [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 113]; kriggok, -ka, -kar, -kana f. [Danell 1951: 221].

In the root [e:] and [ei] are heard alongside i [e:']. The noun is declined irregularly: in the singular the stem is kvildar, in the plural kvild-. The following forms have occurred in interviews:

Sg. Def. sg. Pl. Def. pl.

MP kvildar kvilden kvildar kvildana

LU kvildar kvildn kvildar//kvildnar//kvildarar kvilda(na)//kvildena

AL kvildar kvild(a)n kvildar kvilda(na)

The most consistent forms were cited by MP. LU’s def. sg. form kvildn with syncopated e (instead of the expected kvildan or kvilden) can be explained through analogy with type m.1b. The pl. form kvildnar is caused by the influence of vavnar, kavnar. In kvildarar the plural ending -ar is attached directly to the singular stem. In the definite plural form kvildena, the ending -ena may be a vestige of the neuter paradigm (the neuter gender is preserved in the dialect of Nucko).

The root vowel fluctuates between [e] and [re]. Compare Sw. stovel‘boot,’ klover ‘clover’ (from Middle Low German stevel, klever), where o instead of e may be due to the following rounded consonant [Wessen 1968: § 34].

In interviews with AL this noun fluctuates between types m.1c (vavar) and m.1d (vaven), which is due to the similarity of the definite sg. vaven (of vavar) to such nouns of type m.1c as kaven. MP and LU cite regular forms of type m.1c.

Type m. 1d

§ 11. A distinguishing feature is the zero ending in the definite singular. To this type belong nouns whose stems end in n and nd. Another group of nouns that occur with the zero ending in the def. sg. are those whose stems end in l after a consonant or an unstressed vowel. The zero ending in this case is probably due not to the phonetic loss of -en after l in the def. sg., but to the fact that these nouns are loanwords; see [Mankov 2013a: § 9; Karlgrfn 1953: § 33]. Nouns in l after a consonant or an unstressed vowel can also occur with the ending -n in the def. sg. (i.e., they belong to type m. 1b). This is particularly typical of interviews with AL and LU; in interviews with MP the zero ending is prevalent. The zero ending in this case makes the present-day dialect different from Karlgren’s records as well as from the dialect of Nucko, where nouns in -l, -ll end in -n in the def. sg. It should also be noted that nouns with stems in l and ll after a stressed vowel belong to type m. 1a in the present-day dialect.

§ 12. The following nouns of type m.1d have occurred in the interviews:

1. aks(a)l ‘axis.’ The final l instead of l can be explained by its position after s [Mankov 2010a: § 10.4]. However, -l could be replaced by l under the influence of Sw. axel.

The form bastar m. 2b was recorded as well; it may be due to the interpretation of bastan as a definite sg. form of type 2b.

3. bisman ‘steelyard balance’: Ja vifta kate ma bisman LU ‘I weighed the meat with a steelyard’; Ta tan bismanDEPSG, ja har iya anat vift LU ‘Take this steelyard, I don’t have any other scales.’

Phonetically changed under the influence of Germ. Gaffel f. and Sw. gaffel; the genuine form would be *gafal (as recorded by Vendell). In interviews with EU the noun is feminine: hon gafftaDEESG. ‘that fork’; Gav ot mai gafftaDEESG. ‘Give me the fork.’

This word was not recorded by Vendell and Danell. A Standard Swedish cognate is kyss, -en, -ar in the meaning ‘round cookie’ [SAOB: K3565]. The dialect form kixxl probably contains the diminutive -l- (i.e. *kyssel); on this suffix in Swedish see [Tamm 1897: 43; Olson 1916: 248-253; Wessen 1992: 58].

34. stayal (-0, -lar, -la) ‘pole’ (< Germ. Stangel m.): trdskakvdits-staylaDERPL. ‘cornstalks.’

|| This word is absent from Vendell’s and Danell’s dictionaries.

35. taf(a)l ‘blackboard’ (< Germ. Tafel f.)

The masculine gender in the dialect may be caused by the influence of such masculine nouns in -al as ayal, stayal, kriyal, kittl, sikkal.

|| taval, -lar f. G, tavul, -lar f. O, tafl, -ar m. W, taful, -lar f. N [Freu-DENTHAL, Vendell 1886: 230]; tafel, -n, -lar, -la m. [Karlgren 1953: 18]; tafol/tavol, -n, -lar, -la m. [DANELL 1951: 428].

36. tinn ‘tooth’ (e.g., of a saw)

|| tinn, -arm. GNORW, f. D [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 232]; tin, -0, -ar, -a m. [Danell 1951: 430].

37. tsaun ‘vat’ (< Ukr. чавун m.): Satt 'upp tsaunDERSG. po grit-tien, o an-e ska kuk fiksare, ta 'tjand riyya ‘Put the vat on the stove, and to make it boil quicker, take the rings off the burners.’

|| aggo§, -§a, -§ar, -§ana f. [Isberg 1970: 380].

Type m. 1e

§ 13. A distinguishing feature of this type is the element -j- which appears in front of the plural endings. Originally the occurrence of -j- did not depend on the final consonant of the root [Noreen 1904: § 390-393], but in the present-day dialect -j- is attached to roots terminating in velar consonants. The following nouns of this type have occurred in the interviews:

1. -bakk in vato-bakk ‘puddle’

|| bakk, -arm. DGNORW [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 37], vatubakk DGNRW, -bakke O, pl. -ar DNRW, -iar GO m. [ibid.: 253] ‘brook; small river’; b«_k, -en, -( i)ar, -( i)a m. [DANELL 1951: 65].

2. bank ‘bench’: ljti-bank AA ‘bench by the gate’ (where women sit and gossip; ljti means ‘to tell a lie’); site-bank AL ‘bench in the street’; skul-bank ‘school desk’; Han sita-ter aldina po bankenDERSG LU ‘He sits there alone on the bench’; Umm-e a ravna, so-dom ant a satt ter po bankaDE¥PL.

3. drayy/dray ‘servant’ (especially groom)

|| dragg DGNRW, dragge O, -iar m. [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 45]; dragg, -en, -iar, -ia m. [Danell 1951: 80].

9. -trisk in dan(n)-trisk ‘threshold,’ trapp-trisk ‘threshold’: Ja gi ant lamft, ja stu po trappa o bla ska ' tit-e ive dann-triskenDEESG, ja var lat de gO lay are LU ‘I didn’t go far, I stood at the porch and splashed it out over the threshold, I didn’t feel like walking any farther.’

The form trisk (instead of *triskal), which was recorded by Vendell, appeared due to the reanalysis of the definite sg.: trisken (def. sg. of triskal) > trisk-en by analogy with the correlation gavol : gaven. Compare kvarv alongside kvarval (§ 10.19 above).

|| triskal DG, triskul NO, -lar m. [Freudenthal, Vendell 1886: 238]; triskok, -oy/-on, -kar, -ka m. [Danell 1951: 443].

When it’s warmer, the horse sinks into the snow. The horse that I carried the wood with, I had to sign for it. If something happens to it, I have to pay for the horse. Because the horse is limping and has to remain in the stable, I pay 42 roubles a day. For as many days as it stands there, I have to pay’; Hoss ja rai var matt me-en, han aikenBEESG!

Towards spring before midday it thaws, and towards the evening there’s frost. Everything is frozen hard on you, the clothes, they stand on end and rub. The clothes are all wet, the trousers and mittens, and here I still have to unharness the horse, and my hands are stiff. This is forest work. This is how it was for us, and that poor horse, I give a handful of hay to it, he can’t lay down, to be sure, has to haul everything’; Stigen jar brantatar, so mnjtiar, hir kann-de ant kir ma aikjaBEE EB LU ‘The path is steep, so narrow, here you can’t ride horses.’

|| aik, -iar m. DG [Freubenthal, Venbell 1886: 265]; aike, aiken, aikiar, aikia m. [Danell 1951: 487].

§ 14. Nouns listed in the preceding paragraph tend to lose -j- in the plural (i.e., bankjar alongside bankar, which is particularly typical of LU), going over to type 1a. The opposing regularity is also observed: -j- may appear in the plural of those nouns of type 1a which end in a velar consonant:19 busk ‘bush,’ pl. busk(j)ar, def. pl. busk(j)a(na); гщ ‘ring,’ riqq(j)ar (also in interviews with LU). Compare a similar fluctuation in feminine nouns:fliq ‘shred,’ def. sg.fliya AL,fliyja LU, pl.fliy(j)ar, def. pl.fliy(j)ana.

§ 15. The noun blase ‘forehead’20 can be included in type 1e. Its characteristic feature is a short root (all other nouns of this type have long roots), after

19 The only known exception is gUbb ‘old man,’ which occurred with the pl. gubbjar (usually gubbar).

which e (< *-j-) is preserved. Historically, this noun may be ajan-stem: *blasja > blase. The following forms occurred in the interviews:

Sg. Def. sg. Pl. Def. pl.

LU blase blasn blasjar blasena, blasja(na)

al blase, bias blasn blas(j)ar blasja(na), blasana

MP blase, blasen blasen blasjar blasena

In the def. sg. the phonetically regular form is blasn, where е is syncopated between s and n. The wish to eliminate the non-trivial correlation blase : blasn resulted in the forms bias : blasn (type m. 1b) and blasen : blasen (type m. 1d, after the pattern of kaven). The def. sg. form blasen and the def. pl. blasena can be explained as the stem blase- (extracted from the indefinite singular) + the endings -n and -na.

|| blass, -ar f. NO, compare bias (pl. is not used) m. DGNORW, blasu, -r f. W ‘blaze (on the forehead of animals)’; bk&se, bk&sn, bk&siar, bk&sia m. [Karlgren 1953: 18]; bkas, an, ar, a m. [Danell 1951: 34].
