Polskie karawana i karawan na tle innych języków słowiańskich i niektórych zachodnioeuropejskich

Abstract

Polish karawana ‘Caravan’ and karawan ‘Hearse’ in the Context of Other Slavonic and Some West European Languages The traditional Oriental etymology of Polish karawana ‘caravan’ seems to be self-evident and somewhat trivial. This author aims to show that the transmission channels from the Orient into both Slavonic and Western European languages are far more complex than previously thought.
