Аннотация
Авторы статьи показывают, что русские народные говоры лежат в основе формирования гидронимии. Диалектные и этимологические словари предлагают несколько версий толкования отдельных номинаций. Для установления истины необходимы точные знания реалий, связанные с исследуемыми гидрообъектами. В статье сделана первая попытка распределения гидронимов Посемья по группам, имеющим разные мотивационные признаки.
Ключевые слова: гидронимика, гидронимы, гидрообъекты, номинация, этимология, мотивационные признаки.

Abstract
The authors show that Russian folk dialects are the basis for the formation of hydronimy. Dialectal and etymological dictionaries offer several versions of interpretations of the individual categories. To establish the truth accurate knowledge of the realities associated with the studied hydro objects is required. The article made the first attempt of distribution of the Posemye hydronyms into groups with different motivational characteristics.
Keywords: hydronimy, hydronyms, hydro objects, naming, etymology, motivational charateristics.

We continue the series of scientific publications on hydronimy of Posemye [Malykhina 2009: 115-117; Malykhina 2010: 317-326; Malykhina 2014: 108111; Malykhina 2015: 122-123; Malykhina 2015: 188-192; Malykhina 2015: 81-86].
Posemye is an ancient Russian historical region on the river Seim with the town of Kursk in the 9th-14th centuries, from the 11th century the lot of the Chernigov Principality. The archaeologist, writer, author of historical novels about ancient Russia ("Kudeyarov Camp", "Svarog Tribe", "In the Crucible"), lecturer at Kursk state pedagogical institute Yuri Lipking (1904-1983) participated in archaeological expeditions which conducted excavations on Kursk land for many years. He explored the settlements on the territory of Posemye. Alexander Yashchenko, a philologist, created "Hydronimic dictionary of Posemye". He taught at the Kursk state pedagogical institute in the 50-60ties of the 20th century and was a leading expert on the Kursk regional toponymy. His investigations on etymology of toponyms and hydronyms are still widely used by historians, archaeologists and educators of the regional centre. Great work related to deciphering of the Chronicles of ancient acts (14th-17th centuries), cadastre, census and estimated books of Kursk province (manuscript) of the 17th century, materials of the General land-surveying (handwritten) of the 18th century, historical, geographical, topographical and agricultural maps and plans, and to the study of materials on archaeology of Russia in provinces and counties (1884), materials from the "Expedition for the exploration of the sources of the main rivers of European Russia" (1894) and to many other problems was done by A. Yashchenko [Yashchenko 1974: 2].
In the dictionary of hydronyms there are 740 hydronyms and 500 variants of the names to which linguistic review, etymological reference are given.
It is known that hydronyms are a kind of synchronic and diachronic, cultural, historical and linguistic indices. The study of hydronyms, constituting a unique and extremely rich lexical category in the language system, is of great theoretical and practical importance. The names of hydronimic objects are embodiments of not only linguistic but also geographical, historical and cultural information that becomes an important auxiliary tool in solving many problems of related sciences. Hydronyms are extremely resistant. The names of rivers, streams, sources of rivers are known for centuries, and even millennia. This makes hyronimy extremely interesting for a historian, linguist and geographer, because it allows to look at the distant past, about which written sources are silent. Russian folk dialects are the basis for the formation of hydronimy. Many of the names of hydronyms cannot be explained from the point of view of modern Russian language. Dialectal and etymological dictionaries offer several versions of interpretations of the individual categories. To establish the truth accurate knowledge of the realities associated with the studied hydronimic objects is required. In this article we will confine ourselves to the information
reflected in the "Hydronimic dictionary of Posemye", and try to distribute hydronyms into groups according to the following motivational features: 1) size, shape and configuration of the channel of hydro object; 2) relief features of the area.
