ist der Ansicht, es handle sich um die Bernsteininsel Abalus des Pytheas (genannt bei PLIN. Nat. hist. 37,35). Zudem spreche dafür, dass auch SCYMN. (189ff.) die stele boreios bei den Kelten und Venetern kenne, die Säulen demnach in den Norden zu versetzen seien (Stichtenoth 1968, 55). Er kann jedoch keine überzeugenden Gründe für eine derartige Fehllokalisierung angeben.AVIEN. (345) selbst gibt an: der Name bedeute in der Sprache der Punier mons altus; ON mit Abgibt es auch in Nordafrika, z. B. Abthugni in der Provinz Africa Proconsularis (heutiges Hr. Es-Souar in Tunesien, CIL VIII 23085). Die Angabe des AVIEN. ist also vertrauenerweckend. Die Theorie Stichtenoths, die ora maritima des AVIEN. sei an der Ostsee zu lokalisieren, ist abzulehnen, und damit auch alle germ. Etymologien für die darin genannten Orte (s. Vorwort).
The paper argues that seemingly aberrant phonological developments of local adverbs that have become prepositions and verbal and nominal prefixes in Baltic, Germanic and Armenian are to be explained by the assumption of a phase of ‘ditropic’ behaviour: ‘ditropic clitics’ select as their prosodic host any stressed word preceding their syntactic host without forming a semantic unit. This enclitic behaviour of forms that in the historically attested stages of Baltic, Germanic and Armenian are prepositions and verbal and nominal prefixes is argued to explain their seemingly aberrant phonological developments: the shortening of Lithuanian (preverbal) nu‐ and pri‐ beside (prenominal) núo‐ and príe‐ due to Leskien's law, the operation of Verner's law in Proto‐Germanic *ga‐ beside residual *ham‐ from Proto‐Indo‐European *kom‐ and of Verner's law or assimilatory voicing in Proto‐Gmc *du‐, and the behaviour of the Armenian prepositions / prefixes betraying word‐internal position e.g. in the reduction of the affricate /dz/ to /z/ in Arm z‐. After the local adverbs passed through a phase of ditropic behaviour in all three proto‐languages, the mismatch between prosody and morphosyntax was resolved by a ‘prosodic jump’, phonologically attaching the local adverbs to their semantic and syntactic hosts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
