| Description | This article is focused on an etymological analysis of Czech names of birds, borrowed from the Amerindian languages. The analysis notices both taxonomic relationships between the bird species and etymological relationships between their names. Author of this article searches for the original meanings of the names and reveals the ways these borrowings were implemented into the Czech language. The most frequent sources of the borrowings of Czech zoonyms in this volume are Tupi-Guarani, Nahuatl and Algonquinian languages. |
