- Abstract
This article is dedicated to analysis of vocabulary of Lechite origin in Great Russian, Great Polish and Czech language areas. The common “Lechite” lexical fund is numerous. The study shows that prefixal derivatives with prefix wy-/vy- alone make more than 600 cognate lexical units. Only 16 forms have truly ancient Common Slavic status, while the overwhelming majority of forms continue the late Slavic dialectal neologisms not of the entire Winden dialectal area of the VI century, but of the actual Lechite area of the VII century AD. The undertaken study makes it evident that the large-scale migrations of Lechite tribes at the beginning of the VIII century to Bohemia and to the basin of Dnieper, Don and Oka left obvious lexical heritage, not only the Lechite people’s geographical terminology, but also the significant appellative lexical fund, preserved until today.
