The toponyms, reflecting the
stock-raising terminology of Ossetian language (the names of
grasslands), that were partly or entirely lost in modern language,
are considered in this article. The meanings of some of them are
reconstructed by informant’s survey (cyrt ‘monument, tombstone’,
kært ‘the animal farm, barnyard’). The other part is reconstructed
with the help of etymological analyses (*car- ‘pasture’, *cævæn
‘id.’). Most of the reviewed terms are not presented in the
dictionaries of Ossetian language. Not only allows the conducted
analysis reconstruct the lost lexical unit or its meaning, but also
clarify the pattern of Ossetian pastoral farming.
