The Memory of Table Mountain Bor in the Light of Minor Place Names
Ptáčníková, Martina
Table mountain Bor forms part of the border zone of mountains surrounding Bohemia together with the neighbouring Hejšovina. Bor has not received much attention in onomastic research and this study attempts to fill this gap. It will highlight the well-known and lesser-known variants of the name of mountain, which originated in both Czech and German environments. We pay special attention to the names for the sandstone rock labyrinth situated on the edge of Bor. The oldest name of the labyrinth, Divoké ďoury (EN: Wild Holes, GER: Wilde Löcher), as well as the oldest names of individual rock formations were created by Daniel Ducháč, a resident of the village of Bukovina, which belonged to the so-called Czech Corner in Kłodzko Land. In the conclusion of the study we will answer the question whether the original Czech name of the rock labyrinth, i.e. Divoké ďoury, can still be found in the linguistic landscape of the area today or not.
