On the semantic shift 'blow' – 'needless or frivolous talk'
 Nejedlý, Petr ; Vajdlová, Miloslava
There is a marginal part of (Old) Czech lexis, the root *klas- family (cf. klás /n/ 'ludibrium; iocus'), so far unrecorded in Czech etymological lexicons. The article considers various Slavic as well as non-Slavic possibilities of the family’s origin and outlines formal and content contexts of this onomatopoeically motivated family on the background of some Old Church Slavic lexical units and on the basis of the principle of elementary relationship.

On two expressions of negative mental state (hatred, fear)
 Nejedlý, Petr
There is no indisputable recorded evidence of a fundamental non-negative form of the Old Church Slavic and Slavic verb nenaviděti (it is necessary to revise some opposite views in this respect). Later records of the verb naviděti can be, from the semantic point of view, explained rather as prefi xed derivatives of viděti. Nenaviděti had therefore in all likelihood originated as an artifi cially created denotation of an abstract concept based on the spheres of Christian doctrine. 2. As primarily Old Czech records indicate, the word family of the Slavic verb plašiti contains the IE root *pel-, the initial meaning of which is one of motion: 'chase, run aft er'. The sememe '(rapid/hasty) motion' needs to be considered as fundamental for already the earliest stages of Slavic languages; the sememe 'fright, fear' is – along with the corresponding intransitive verbs – secondary.
