Sažetak
The article discusses eighteen insect names and some closely related forms (for instance honey, sting). The entomonymes are part of a larger corpus of over eight thousand forms we have collected (research results were published on several occasions, after their final authentication and supplementation in 2008 in all villages where Istrorumanian is spoken to this day: Žejane, Šušnjevica, Nova Vas, Jesenovik, Letaj, Brdo, Škabići, Trkovci, Zankovci, Miheli, Kostrčan) and which does not consist of entomonymes alone. For this article a selection of local original entomonymes was made. In the case of individual Istroumanian villages, where along with local entomonymes loanwords are used, they too were analyzed to their original etymons. The local forms represent approximately one third of the entire corpus of words. Alongside each entomonym, recorded during field studies, forms known from literature are cited (from all availlable Istrorumanian dictionaries and glossaries). Each Istrorumanian entomonym is compared with similar words in the other three historical Rumanian dialects (Daco-Rumanian, Aromanian, Megleno-Rumanian). At the end of etymological article the original etymon is given.
