    The Lithuanian "vėlės" and Latvian "veļi" mythologeme

  • Original language description

    In Lithuanian as well as in Latvian exist multiple expressions for various substances of soul. One of them, Lithuanian &quot;vėlės&quot;, Latvian &quot;veļi&quot; (both in plural form), has been discussed by etymologists several times for its possible etymological connection to Indoeuropean theonym with root *ṷel- (Roman Jakobson as the first one coming up with the same root for the two semantic fields; V. V. Ivanov with V. N. Toporov continuing on mythological terms derived according to them from the root *ṷel-; E. P. Hamp arguing some aspects of aforementioned). In accordance with the methodology and terminology used by R. Kregždys based firstly on analysis within the respective linguo-cultural (in this case firstly Lithuanian) material and then on further comparison with genetically and geographically close (Latvian and than Slavic) areas the paper analysed mythonym (R. Kregždys&apos; term meaning mystificated entities of various spheres/objects being used or used in mythological or folklore space) &quot;vėlės&quot;/&quot;veļi&quot;, using the data collected especially from older Lithuanian sources and Lithuanian folklore texts in combination with linguistic approach.
