TI - THE ETYMOLOGY OF THE SLAVONIC NAME FOR ERMINE (MUSTELA ERMINEA) II: A NEW PROPOSAL
AB - 
	The author discusses possible motivations for naming the ermine in Slavonic, adopts and further elaborates on the etymology of Common Slavonic *gornostajь/*gornostalьgiven by Černych (< Indo-European *gher- ‘warm, hot; get warm’), which eventually leads to a new, alternative solution based on the connection with the Indo-European root *erH- ‘blacken, get/be black’.
