К вопросу о взаимосвязи между названиями деревьев и птиц в балтийских языках

Santrauka

This paper is an attempt to prove the existence of bilateral connection between the names of birds and trees. The names of mountain-ash (Viburnum opulus L.) and snowball tree (Sorbus aucuparia L.) being often mixed, the semantic model „name of a bird” →„name of a tree” is suggest­ed for both of them. The author of the paper suggests the existence of this model in the Lettish putenes (Viburnum opulus L.): putns „bird" and gives a parallel etymological version of the Lithua­nian pùtinas.
