Etimologies of selected Aloglotisms related to Cousine in Slovene Istrian Vernaculars

Abstract

This paper aims to determine etymology of the selected istroslovenian expressions of Roman origin. Slovene Istrian vernaculars reflect the centuries-old influence of the Venetian Republic in Istria during a certain historical period, which in time grew stronger. The etymological articles compare the istroslovenian forms to the related ones from the local vernaculars. For each dialectal form, an immediate and final etymology is given as evidenced by the corresponding etymological dialectal repertoire.
