Ethnolinguistic studies are important for understanding an ethnic group’s ideas on the world, expressed in itslanguage. Comparing corresponding aspects of such knowledge might help clarify problems of origin for certainconcepts and words, e.g. whether they form common heritage, have an independent origin, are borrowings, orcalques. The current study was conducted on the material in Slavonic, Baltic, Germanic, Romance, Finno-Ugrian,Turkic and Albanian languages. The bear was chosen as being a large, dangerous animal, important in traditionalculture, whose name is widely reflected in folk plant names. The phytonyms for comparison were mostly obtainedfrom dictionaries and other publications, and supplemented with data from databases, the co-authors’ field data,and archival sources (dialect and folklore materials). More than 1200 phytonym use records (combinations of alocal name and a meaning) for 364 plant and fungal taxa were recorded to help find out the reasoning behindbear-nomination in various languages, as well as differences and similarities between the patterns among them.Among the most common taxa with bear-related phytonyms were Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.) Spreng., Heracleumsphondylium L., Acanthus mollis L., and Allium ursinum L., with Latin loan translation contributing a high proportionof the phytonyms. Some plants have many and various bear-related phytonyms, while others have only one or twobear names. Features like form and/or surface generated the richest pool of names, while such features as colourseemed to provoke rather few associations with bears. The unevenness of bear phytonyms in the chosenlanguages was not related to the size of the language nor the present occurence of the Brown Bear in the region.However, this may, at least to certain extent, be related to the amount of the historical ethnolinguistic researchdone on the selected languages.

BackgroundMany plant names have an animal element as a part ofthem. Animal names in folk (and scientific) plant namesare common in many languages in Europe, as well as out-side Europe. The prefix bear- is very common in manylanguages in the Eurasian area, which reflects the bear’simportance in the folk tradition.Phytonyms (that is plant names) with animal names as
components have been discussed by many ethnobota-nists, folklorists, and linguists. Already a pioneering

plant name researcher T. Thiselton-Dyer [1] observedthat bear was a common animal element in many plantnames, giving bear’s foot, bear-berry, bear’s bilberry,bear’s-garlic, bears-breech, and bear’s-wort as examples.The word bear could denote the size, the coarseness,and frequently the worthlessness or spuriousness of theplant. H. Kreiter [2] gave an account of French vernacu-lar names of plants derived from animal names. H.Marzell published a dissertation on animals in Germanplant names [3]. Croatian and general Slavonic materialwas analysed in works by N. Vajs [4] and S. Dubrovina[5], respectively. I. Hauenschield provided an importantcontribution with her studies on the use of animals inTurkic plant names [6]. She noted that the bear is an

important animal in Turkish folklore and also has a veryprominent place among Turkic plant names, generallyconnected with forest and mountain flora. Hungarianplant names were researched by Rácz [7], who consid-ered dog’s, wolf ’s, pig’s names among the most commonones among those with an animal element. Komi phyto-nyms were discussed by Rakin [8]. Most of these worksanalyse many plant names in detail, but somewhat se-lectively, and without statistics.Specific animals were discussed in numerous articles.
For example, the Dutch ethnobotanist T. van Asseldonkexamined the use of ‘pig’ in plant names in French,German, Dutch, and Flemish [9]; T. B. Haber – on dogsand other canines in British and American English [10].Some authors tried to find explanations of naming intraditional culture [11]; such an approach is typical inethnolinguistics. Still, most researchers limited them-selves to comparing plants’ organs with these or thosebody parts of animals, as well as pointing out some oftheir features – that is, their properties and characteris-tics. So, van Asseldonk mentioned the toxicity of some‘pig’-herbs and the fact that some of them are eaten bypigs [9]; Haber included worthless, inferior, harmful, andnot cultivated plants to the list of ‘dog’ plants, addingthose serving as dog’s medicine, curing dog bites, andbeneficial to dogs [10]. In a work based on Slavonicplant name data, V. Kolosova [12] discerned sixteen mo-tivations (plant features which were the reason behindthe naming) for animal names, a plant’s shape, surface,colour, size, habitat, status, and a plant being animal’sfood or medicine among them. N. Vajs in her article [4]attempted to set up correspondences between the ap-pearance of plants and an animal body part forming thebasis of nomination (Fig. 1).More specifically plant names with a bear component
were discussed in articles by Brodskij [13] on Finno-Permic and Balto-Fennic languages and by Kolosova [14]on Russian dialects. We should also mention Dahlstedt[15] who in more depth discussed many bear berry namesin northern Scandinavia. He notes that bear- in names ofberries in northern Scandinavia is probably pejorative,because it is often used to berries regarded as inedible.However, it can also refer to the colour, because unripeberries can be red or maroon.There was often no direct relationship between the ac-
tual habitat of an animal species and the use of animalmetaphors in local plant names. There were for instancenames with ‘lion’, ‘monkey’ and ‘dragon’ in the Nordiclanguages, and ‘elephant’ and ‘lion’ in various Turkic plantnames [6, 16, 17]. The Tudor naturalist Turner recordedbearefote (nowadays still called bear’s foot) in Englishalready in 1538 for Helleborus [18]. No wild bears werepresent in the British Isles at that time. They were prob-ably extinct already by 500 AD or somewhat later [19].
Bear-related plant names can be considered semanticallytransparent or in some cases semi-transparent in Berlin’sterms [20], yet we are talking about once traditional, butnow highly literate societies. Therefore understanding themotivations of plant names is not easy. Plant names andthe naming of plants subsume a great many aspects: syn-chronic, diachronic, structural, semantic/associative, sys-temic/variational, etymological, geographical, social, etc.There is also a question of the emotive/situational value ofplant names and the handling of plant names in literarycontexts. Many plant names reflected folklore motifs andmythological ideas. In addition, there were normative as-pects in terms of diffusion and normalization of plantnames. It is therefore not only a question of the supposedorigin and motif of denomination (why was a plant Xcalled Y?). Some names were for instance just translationsof the Latin name, and especially the pre-Linnaean Latinnames must be considered, cf. Turner’s bearefote [21].Large charismatic animals have always attracted people’s
interest, and therefore there exists a rich cultural history as-sociated with such animals. Predators especially haveexerted a special attraction in art, folklore, myths, rituals,and other cultural expressions. This applies in particular tothe bear (along with wolf) that has played a central role inpeople’s perceptions across Eurasia. Bear worship has forinstance been common all over the circumpolar area[22–26]. Some peoples even regarded bears as their ances-tors [27, 28]. Vice versa, in Slavonic etiological legends bearis a human transformed into a beast as a punishment forsome sin. South Slavs celebrated special “bear days” [29].Bears are found all over the northern hemisphere [30].
Very much was written about the bear in folk perceptionand as a prey for hunters. Our relationship with bearsseems eternal, ranging from prehistoric human relationto the cave bear right up to the bear’s place in today’spopular culture [31, 32]. Several ancient (Pliny the Elder,Claudius Aelianus), medieval (Hildegard of Bingen,Albertus Magnus, Bartholomew of England), and Renais-sance authors (Olaus Magnus, Conrad Gessner) dealtwith the bear in detail. The scholarly literature on thebear in human history is extensive and covers manyaspects [27, 30, 33–36].Echoes of ancient ideas on some “equality” of humans
and bears have been alive in ritual practices until re-cently. For instance, in Älvdalen, in the Swedish prov-ince Dalecarlia, a fiancée was called ‘she-bear’, and thereare many expressions connected with the rituals before awedding when the bear metaphor is used. Björn-grånkais the local term for a spruce tree, Picea abies (L.) H.Karst, which was set upright against the door of a farmwhere someone had the banns of marriage published.This was done to prevent ‘the bear’ from coming ‘out ofhibernation’ [37]. In Russian wedding songs the bride iscalled мeдвeдицa ‘she-bear’ [38].

As a charismatic animal, hunted, revered, and feared,the bear also has many euphemisms in Eurasia [29, 39–41].Strictly speaking, bear/björn/bjørn/Bär in the Germaniclanguages literally mean “the brown one”, is an old eu-phemism [41]; Russian literary and common name for bearis also a euphemism literally meaning “honey eater”; all ofthem are used instead of old Indo-European name *ŗkso-(kept in Gr. άρκτoς and Lat. ursus), that has been tabooedfor many centuries [42]. The Hungarian language uses aSlavonic borrowing medve for the same reason.The objectives of the research were to answer the fol-
lowing questions:
a. which plants were associated with the bear in folkplant nomenclatures?
b. why certain plants were considered ‘bear plants’ (i.e.eventual links to local perceptions)?
c. is there a common perception of the same taxon overlarger areas?
d. what are differences and similarities of the patternsamong different languages?
e. do plant names with ‘bear’ component always link tothe animal ‘bear’?
f. which word-formative models are used for creating‘bear’-names?
Methods and sourcesWithin this work we concentrated on plant names re-lated to the Brown Bear (Ursus arctos Linnaeus, 1758)
historically or still today co-habitating in the areas of thedistribution of selected language groups (Fig. 2). We givean overview of using the bear as a prefix in Eurasian folkplant names (sometimes it is not a prefix but just a wordmeaning ‘bear’ or ‘little bear’ used as a metaphorical name).The names belonging to the official nomenclature werenot analysed, unless they coincided with the folk ones.Only species names were considered. The cases of bear-
nomination for individual natural objects, as, i.e., It. faggiodell’orso ‘bear’s beech’ for one famous big tree at Mt.Tranquillo, near Pescasseroli village, are not analysed.Plant names containing the root bear- were analysed in
the spoken dialects of several Eurasian languages: Slavonic(Belarusian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Macedonian,Polish, Russian, Ruthenian, Serbian, Slovak, Slovenian,Sorbian, and Ukrainian), Germanic (English, German,Danish, Norwegian and Swedish), Romance (French,Italian, Latin, Sardinian, Friulian), Finno-Ugrian (Estonian,Finnish, Hungarian, Izhorian, Livonian, Saami, and Votic),Turkic languages (Bashkir, Chuvash, Kazakh, Kirghiz,Tatar, Turkish, Uyghur, and Uzbek) and other languages(Albanian, Lithuanian). The authors also considered thecases when the plant was unidentified, but the citationfrom respondent explained the using of a bear-name. Theinner form (literal translation) of local names is given insquare brackets.The published dictionaries, ethnolinguistic literature,
folkloric and ethnographic references based on primaryliterature and original field investigations were considered.

Field materials from Abruzzo [Cianfaglione], Transylvania[Frendl and Papp], Estonia [Kalle and Sõukand], Transylvania[Molnár, Babai], and the Alps [Pieroni] are publishedfor the first time. Data was extracted from the sources andentered in an Excel spreadsheet. Nomenclature followedThe Plant List database [43] for plants and IndexFungorum [44] for fungi. The dataset supporting the con-clusions of this article was included within the article asits (Table 1). The dataset has the following structure: validnomenclature taxon, original source taxon identification,local plant name and its literal translation into English,language and geographical area of fixation of the plantname, motivation, and the source of the information. Thecolumn containing motivations was formed on the basisof the material extracted from the sources.
Are all bears in plant names really bears?There is a particular problem in the interpretation of thebear plant names. The bramble (Rubus subg. Rubus) wascalled björnbär [“bear berry”] in Swedish. This plantname was recorded already in 1643 in Sweden. But thereasoning behind this name is not easily clarified. Thereis nothing bear-like about it, and bears never appear inthe area where it grows along the southern Swedishcoasts. One possible explanation is that another folkname is brumbär, and the first part brum has maybebeen associated with the animal’s name (although brumin this case actually means ‘leaf ’, cf. English bramble,German Brombeere, etc.). Although most contemporarypeople connect björnbär with bears, it is not etymologic-ally derived from historical roots connected to the
animal bear [17]. On the other hand, the connections ofRubus spp. with bears in Belorussian, Ukrainian, Czech,Old-Polish, German, Italian, Estonian, and Votic cannotbe explained by folk etymology.Another example is the English name bearbind for
Clematis vitalba L., Convolvulus arvensis L., and Poly-gonum convolvulus L., where the ‘bear’ element histori-cally comes from Old English beow ‘barley’ rather thanthe Old English bera ‘bear’, and thus the whole nameliterally means the plant that binds barley [45, 46].Similarly, it is bere (also ‘barley’) rather than bera,that lies behind bear-barley, a Northumberland namefor Hordeum hexastichon or tetrastichon, which thushas nothing to do with bears, but literally means“barley-barley” [47].Thiselton-Dyer [1] used bear’s-wort as an example,
which, according to him, “is rather to be derived fromits use in uterine complaints than from the animal”. Theexplanation makes a lot of sense as Eng. bear has (atleast) two meanings, including ‘the animal bear’ and ‘togive birth’, which lent good material to folk etymologists.If there was an herb that helped giving birth or was goodfor gynecological disorders, it could get the name ofbear’s-wort. The situation was the same with Germ. Bär‘the animal bear’ and gebären ‘to give birth’.Words from which the later words were derived are a
critical issue also in other quasi bear plant names. Themain similarities between Est. karu ‘bear’ and the adjec-tive karune ‘hairy’ made contemporary speakers takethem as being cognates. The words for ‘bear’ (NorthEstonian and standard Estonian karu, South Estonian

kahr, and Finnish karhu) are related to each other. Theyare all connected with an ancient adjective (Est. kare,Fin. karhea ‘rough’), which may be a very old Indo-Iranian loan. The words for bear coincided phoneticallywith another word, karune ‘hairy’ (where -ne is a suffixof an adjective). This word is etymologically connectedwith the noun karv ‘hair’, which is an old Baltic loan inthe Baltic-Finnish languages. Gooseberry is a good examplehere, which in some parts of Estonia was named karusmari(Est. mari ‘berry’, where the ‘s’ is a remnant of a genitive ofthe adjective suffix). It is of course wrong to understandthis as “bear berry”; it is “hairy berry”. Another Estonianname is karuohakas (Anchusa officinalis L., Cirsium lan-ceolatum Scop.) which have nothing to do with bear either(karu, karune and karv [48]). Still, all the aforementionedand similar cases were included into Table 1 and consid-ered during counting the number of phytonyms.
The bear as compound in Eurasian plant namesFolk and scientific plant names have entered into intri-cate relationships. So, in Russia the first medicinal books(containing descriptions of various plants features) weretranslated in the 16th century from German and Polish,and later from Latin. Since then, a complex of natural-science ideas (having antique, Byzantine, and West-European origins) and oral folklore-mythological ideashas existed, with folk herbal books somewhere betweenthem [49]. When the interpreters could not find an ap-propriate Russian equivalent, they used calques (loantranslations, literal translations) or simple translitera-tions. This method was used also in alphabetical books(Rus. aзбукoвники) – the first explanatory dictionaries[50]. In Europe, “the fathers of botany” had to widen thelists of the antique authors at the expense of the localplant names [51]. Linnaeus’s system influenced nationalnomenclatures as well. Besides, there were also foreignnames borrowed by noble classes through the books,and by the peasantry – via everyday contacts with neigh-bouring peoples. Nowadays, strong influence is exertedby school education and media.Children played an important role in naming of local
plants. They have been very observant of details and someof these names survive for generations (cf. [52, 53]). Oneexample is the number of names for the sporangium ofthe golden maiden hair (Polytrichum commune L.) in theGermanic languages. Animal prefixes were very common(birds, mammals) and the children have seen moss as afield with crop and therefore named it crow’s field, cuckoo’scereals, fox rye, etc. [54]. There was also a bear name forthe Polytrichum commune L. from the northern Dalecarliain Sweden: björnblomma [“bear flower”] [22].While analyzing the “bear names” of plants in various
languages, one may notice that the same element of aname – ‘bear’ – was motivated by a whole number of
various plant features. Not all of them were productiveto the same extent; still, the influence of each featuremay be found all over the territory we studied.It was not always possible to indicate with certainty
one specific feature for each plant nomination. As it isshown in Table 2, various authors explain the bear-names of the same plant by different motivations. Veryoften, a name was the result of influence of a wholenumber of features. Moreover, one plant taxa can havevarious bear-phytonyms motivated by different features,for example among the 18 plants most often attributedbear-related phytonyms, we can detect between two tosix different motivations, differing within the languages(Table 2). In the sections below, the names were groupedaccording to the “leading” assumed feature, while theother(s) was/were mentioned if relevant.From the point of view of word-formative models, we
may conclude that bear-names might be coined in thefollowing ways: 1) “bear/she-bear” (transfer of meaning),2) bear + a body part of the bear (e.g. [“bear’s paw”]), 3)bear + a part of the plant (e.g. [“bear berry”]), 4) bear + aplant name (e.g. [“bear willow”]), 5) bear + a plant groupname (e.g. [“bear tree”]), 6) bear + an object name (e.g.[“bear spindle”]).The plant taxa having most various phytonyms within
regions/languages with rich representation of bear-relatedphytonyms were outlined in the Table 3. Although roughlyone third of the motivations were hypothesized, the gen-eral proportion of the motivations is in large outlined inFig. 3. The motivations below are listed based on the lo-gical assumptions of the authors about the most popularmotivations, yet the analysis proved such assumptionswere incorrect.
Nomination by sizeThis nomination might be presumed to be the largestgroup, but in fact contributed only 3% of recorded or as-sumed motivations and some more in the combinationswith other motivations. Bear names were given, as a rule,to large plants with high stalks and/or large leaves, otherparts of unusually big size. Into this group such namesmight be included as Fin. karhunputk [“bear’s thistle”],Izh. karhuntruba [“bear’s pipe”] Angelica archangelica L.[55, 56]; Rus. Tobol. мeдвeжьe дepeвo [“bear’s tree”] As-paragus [57]; Est. karuein, karuhaina, karuoblik [“bear’sgrass”, “bear’s sorrel”] Rumex crispus L. [58]. An uniden-tified broad-leaved meadow plant was called Rus. Perm.мeдвeжья лaпa [“bear’s paw”] [57]. Turk. name ayıardıcı [“bear’s juniper”] was given to Juniperus drupaceahaving bigger cones than other species [59]. It seemsthat size was also important for Arbutus unedo L., as itis compared with grapes and strawberries, but the nomi-nations could also be influenced by the surface of thefruit, as well as by using them as bear food.
Kolosova et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:14 Page 62 of 72
Nomination by surface typeAnother group which assumingly could be big due tohairy look of bear and many plants, in fact contributedonly 7% of the motivations. Here a good example isfound in the folk names of Lycopodium spp.: in UpperSorbian, German, Polish, Czech, Slovak, Italian, andHungarian dialects it was compared with bear’s paws,feet, legs, and hair (as well as more general words as‘herb’ and ‘(club) moss’ in Estonian and German [45, 58,60–76];. Lycopodium was called björnmåssa [“bearmoss”] in a Swedish source from 1694 [77], which isprobably a translation from a German source.Equisetum arvense in Hungarian dialects was called
medveszakál(l)a [“bear’s beard”], medvefarka [“bear’stail”], and medvebajusz [“bear’s moustache”] [78].
Nomination by formIn this section it is possible to find several subgroups,according to the form of various parts of the plants. Thisis probably the reason why this group contributes to high-est number of both recorded and assumed motivations(17%). The names could be based on the appearance of:
a) large leaves of roundish shape (rather oftencompared to bear paws): Rus. Kostrom. мeдвeжьилaпы [“bear’s paws”], Bel. Smol., Gomel. мядзвeжaялaпкa [“bear’s little paw”], Norw. bjønnblekker[“bear’s leaves”], Est. karukoll [“bear’s ogre”] Calthapalustris L. [57–59, 80], Bulg. мeчa cтъпкa [“bear’sstep”] Tussilago farfara L. [81], Eng. bear’s footAlchemilla vulgaris L. [45].
b) spherical organs of plants (e.g. inflorescences),sometimes with thorns and prickles; could becompared with bear’s head or ear: Kaz. ayïwbastiken[“bear’s head”] Cirsium sp. [6], Est. karuohakad,karused uhakad, karuuhak, karuohtjas, karuõhakas[“bear’s thistle”, “bear’s thorn”] Cirsium arvense (L.)Scop. [58], Norw. bjønnehatt [“bear’s hat”] Cirsiumheterophyllum L. [80], Rus. Psk. мeдвeжникбoлoтный [“swamp bear-plant”] Cirsium oleraceumScop. [57]. Estonian name karune ohak for Carlinavulgaris L. literally means “bear thistle” [58]. Therewas also a small group of names for Centaureaspp.: Est. karukellad [“bear’s bells”] [58] and Rus.мeдвeдник [“bear’s plant”], мeдвeжья лaпa [“bear’spaw”] [75], Turk. ayıkulaği [“bear’s ear”] Arctotissp.; Aster amellus [6]. Names of mushrooms withuntypical shape, for example, Liv. okš-šõrməz [“bear’sseptum”] Gyromitra esculenta (Pers. ex Pers.) Fr.[81] could also be put here.
This type of nomination still stays productive; itshows, for example, in Rus. Novosib. мeдвeжьялaпa [“bear’s paw”] for some species of cacti; at that,the phytonym has obviously been derived recently.c) Plants with small flowers pressed in bunches,looking fluffy (often compared with ears or paws):Turk. ayıkulaği [“bear’s ear”] Glycyrrhiza glabra,Tat. ayu bašï [“bear’s head”] Trifolium sp. [6], Rus.Psk. мeдвeжьe уxo [“bear’s ear”] Verbascumnigrum L. [57], Fin. karhunkukka [“bear’s flower”],karhunruoho [“bear’s grass”] Achillea millefoliumL. [82].
As the reason for nomination was seldom indicated ex-plicitly in sources, it seems sound to draw typological ar-guments. For example, a number of names for Antennariadioica (L.) Gaertn. – Germ. Bärentatze, Bärenpratze, Cz.medvědí tlapičky, Sloven. medvedove tačice, Est. karukäpp,all literally meaning “bear’s paw(s)” [58, 65, 83, 84], − findsa typological parallel in Rus. кoшaчьи лaпки, Germ.Katzenpfoetle [“cat’s paws”]. This sub-group may also beenlarged by names for Clavaria spp., compared inGerman, Slovenian, Bulgarian, and Serbo-Croat dialectswith bear’s paws, and in Slovenian also with bear’s mane[65, 84, 85].
Nomination by toxicity/inedibility for humans/lower statusin comparison with cultural analoguesThe toxicity along with lower status contribute in sumonly 5% of records. Plants with poisonous or just ined-ible fruits often have the word ‘bear’ as the first elementand the word ‘berry’ (or a name of some specific berryplant) as the second, as in Swedish, Norwegian, Bulgar-ian, Russian, Lithuanian, Estonian, and Finnish namesfor Paris quadrifolia L. [15, 55, 57, 58, 80, 82, 86–88].The same may be found in many other plants names:for instance, Crataegus spp. was compared with ap-ples in Bulgarian, and pears in Slovenian and Italian[84, 86, 89, 90]; Paeonia spp. was compared withroses in Turkish [91–94]; Ribes spp. was comparedwith grapes in Italian and Serbo-Croat [84, 90, 91],Corylus colurna L. – with hazelnut in Albanian [95],Lathyrus sylvestris and Vicia sepium L. was comparedwith peas, in Lithuanian [87, 96], Oxalis acetosellawas compared with sorrel in Hungarian [97, 98] – inall these cases the abovementioned species have the‘bear’ prefix. The scornful, negative character of nom-ination is confirmed by the fact that many of theplants analysed received other folk names with ‘dog’,‘wolf ’, ‘pig’, ‘snake’, etc. as the first component. To stepbeyond the scope of zoological code, the plants sup-posed to be unpleasant, harmful, or “not real” werealso often named in ethnic terms, specific for eachnominating language.Nevertheless, as bear is taken as the dominating
European animal, in Russian dialects (Novgorod, Tver,Vologda, Olonets) the bear’s name was used for nom-ination of Boletus edulis as the best mushroom, the

mushroom par excellence [57]. The same can be saidabout Hungarian folk names for B. edulis and otherBoletus spp. in Transylvania [99, 100], and others; seethe Table 1, though there is no information on moti-vations for corresponding cases in Turkish.
Nomination by placePerhaps here “bear nomination” was a particular, nar-rower case of “wild nomination”. The location in thewild is a “background feature” of the plants, growing farfrom the human dwelling, in the places where animalslive, which serves as a basis for metaphorical alikeningof a plant and an animal. Here it seems appropriate toconsider a number of names for the fungus Lycoperdonspp. In this case, the ability to produce a cloud of sporescaused a set of second components of phytonyms, con-necting them to bathing, smoking, etc.: Germ. Bärenfurz[“bear’s fart”], Bulg. мeчкинь пуфeш [“bear’s puff”], Rus.Middle Ob мeдвeжий дым [“bear’s smoke”], мeдвeжийтaбaк [“bear’s tobacco”], Rus. Vlad. мeдвeжьи бaни[“bear’s baths”], Rus. Perm. мeдвeжьe куpeвo [“bear’s to-bacco”] [65, 86, 101–103]. It is noteworthy that the samefungus was known as Fr. vesse-de-loup [“wolf ’s fart”],which is the literal translation from Greek. Here we seeagain, how a bear and a wolf, being similar in folk ideas,could be interchangeable also in folk plant nomencla-ture. Another example is Lychnis chalcedonica L. whichhas names not only Rus. Ob мeдвeжьe мылo [“bear’s
Kolosova et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:14 Page 65 of 72
soap”], but also Rus. Ob coбaчьe мылo, [“dogs’s soap”][101], Rus. Samar. кукушкинo мылo [“cuckoo’s soap”] aswell a number of other names [12]. Although this motiv-ation can be perceived as the background in many morecases, especially in case of several possible motivations,it has explicitly contributed to only 2% all records.
Nomination by usage for food in bearsBears are typically omnivorous animals, their diet in-cludes succulent shoots and leaves, fruits, insects, andmeat [104], although recent studies have shown that car-nivory is positively correlated with latitude among om-nivorous mammals [105]. Omnivority of the bear gave itin many cultures the attribute of medicine animal,knowing all the plants and foods in general. As bearswere often believed to have supernatural powers (due totheir size and long hibernation period) people observedwith great attention bear’s way and the way they foraged.We can thus assume that a large proportion of bearnames in plants referred to their diet. The literature onbear ecology gave us dozens of bear food plants, andsome of them had bear-related names in some lan-guages. The main example of such plants is hogweed(the genus Heracleum) reported as one of the mainspring foods of the bear from many countries, e.g. theUSA, China, Japan, and Poland, e.g. ([106–109], TomaszKozica – pers. comm.). Also “bear’s garlic”, Allium ursi-num, was reported as important bear food in Croatia[110]. There was also an evidence from Mr. SándorTímár (Eastern Carpathians) of bears eating Allium ursi-num and A. victorialis (Hung. vadfokhagyma, wild gar-lic), though the plant was not named after bear in thisarea: “The bear does not eat anything during winter, helicks his paws, and licks so much that by spring they arewhite. And then he eats first from that plant (wild gar-lic), in order to clean his stomach from the “deposits”.He is such a clever animal. He searches for what he hasto eat after the winter sleep”.1 Bears eat a large diversityof wild fruits so it is not surprising that some of themgot the names of bear berries, though it is probably im-possible to say if it was because they were main fruitseaten by bears or rather those fruits which are less eatenby humans, left for the bears, like Arctostaphylos uva-ursi. Bears have also been observed using plants for self-medication, so some of the plants which are not typicalbear food or do not resemble bears in any way may haveacquired their names from incidents of humans observ-ing a bear using this plant as medicine. This was thecase with Ligusticum porter which was observed as beingsought after by bears and was regarded as bear medicineby Native Americans [111].It is possible to assume that some plants – their fruits,
stalks or rhizomes – were eaten by bears, though dialectdictionaries seldom give explanations, and we do not
always know the folk ideas behind this or that nomin-ation. Sw. björnbär [“bear berries”] for Vaccinium myrtil-lus L. [15], Cz. medvědice [“bear’s plant”] for Rubuscaesius L. [72], Rus. мeдвeжьи ягoды [“bear’s berries”]for Rubus idaeus L. [57] seem rather reliable. Arctosta-phylos alpina (L.) Spreng was also known as “bearberries” in many languages, such as N.S. guovžžamuorji,Sw. björnbär and Norw. bjønnbær (recorded already in1766 by Gunnerus [112]) [15].However, not all scholars agreed that there was a ne-
cessary connection with the bear- prefix and the berriesconsumed by the animal. Many different kinds of berrieswere named björnbär locally in northern Scandinavia.Black shining fruit varieties of Vaccinium myrtillus L.and Empetrum hermaphroditum Hagerup were for in-stance known as björnbär “bear berries” in northernSweden. But normal bluish-coloured fruits, although be-ing eaten by bears, were not called “bear berries” (cf.[37]). However, in some areas the normal-coloured ber-ries were also known as “bear berries”, and known to beeaten by bears as well. Swedish plant name scholar andlinguist Karl-Hampus Dahlstedt [15], who studied thenorth-Scandinavian berry-names in particular, stressedthat the naming motif sometimes could be pejorative,for instance for Paris quadrifolia and maybe, but not ne-cessary, for Vaccinium oxycoccos. Dahlstedt concludedthat it was not easy to find one explanation for whymany different kinds of berries were known as “bear ber-ries” in northern Scandinavia [15]. Why Rubus caesiuswas called karuu-marja “bear-berry” in Votic is not cleareither [113].Another example of a bear food plant is Cicerbita
alpina (L.) Wallr., which was known as björnmat [“bearfood”] in Dalecarlia, björngräs [“bear grass”] and björnkål[“bear cabbage”] in Lapland, as well as bjønnturt [“bearplant”] and bjønnmat [“bear food”] in Norway. The plantwas well-known as appreciated by bears among thepeasantry in northern Scandinavia [114]. The same maybe assumed about It. pan d’ors(o) [“bear’s bread”] Sorbusaria L. [74, 115], and Hung. medvesaláta [“bear’s let-tuce”] which was a name for some woodland fringe tallherbs (Cirsium erisithales, C. oleraceum, C. rivulare,Carduus personatus) in the Eastern Carpathians.This motivation group contributed 7% to all records
and the list of plants assumingly motivated by bear foodcontains 66 plant taxa, among which are the taxa withseveral possible motivations. Very limited list of taxa de-tected as bear food in [105], however, only partially over-lap with our extended list, as obviously not all bear foodwas called related to bear (like for example Populus tre-mula L.). Yet for example Aegopodium podagraria L.,which has unknown motivation, or Taraxacum spp.,Tussilago farfara L. and Trifolium spp. assumingly moti-vated by the form in our sources, or Urtica dioica L.
Kolosova et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2017) 13:14 Page 66 of 72
motivated by surface have been detected as bear food in[105], which can indicate possible earlier motivation thatwas later over interpreted.
Nomination by folklore motif or beliefThis motivation group is not numerous (5%). Rus. Perm.мeдвeжий тaбaк [“bear’s tobacco”] Lycoperdon wasbased on the belief that “a bear, to exterminate fleas,rolls about the clearing dotted with puff-balls” [102].Another case is presented by folk nominations of Poly-
trichum commune. It was called Rus. Orl. мeдвeдь[“bear”], Germ. Bärenmoos, Est. karusammal, Izh. kar-unsammõl, Sw. björnmossa (first recorded in 1638),Norw. bjørnemose, Liv. okš-šōmal, Vot. karasamma[“bear’s moss”], Lith. meškakūšis [“bear’s penis”] [11, 56,65, 80, 81, 87, 113, 116].Slavonic sources did not say anything about the rea-
sons for naming, Finno-Ugrian researchers surmise formnomination type. Really, one could suppose that thick,densely growing small stalks were compared with bearfur (see Lycopodium spp. above). But there were severalinterpretations of this specific name on Nordic material,all of them as good as the others [17, 80] admitted itwas not easy to interpret the name: it could be explainedby the fact that the moss turned red-brown and couldremind one of a bear skin, but more probable, he said,was the connection with the belief that the bears used itin their winter-home. Also the moss Rhacomitriumlanuginosum was, on the same reason, named “bearmoss” in Norwegian [80].
(Partial) translation from LatinA very important phenomenon mentioned in the begin-ning of the article is Latin loan translations (calques) innational phyto-taxonomies contributes 15% to allrecords. The most remarkable cases seem to be Arctos-taphylos spp., especially Arctostaphylos uva-ursi (L.)Spreng.; its names (and over 80 of these have been re-corded) have as their inner form “bear’s grapes” or“bear’s berries” in Albanian, Bulgarian, Czech, Danish,English, Estonian, French, German, Italian, Hungarian,Polish, Russian, Serbo-Croat, Slovenian, Turkish, andUkrainian.Of course, there is no guarantee that some folk names
might not appear independently of learned ones, as vari-ous second components are also possible; but the greaterthe number of semantically identical plant names wefind all over Europe, the greater the chances that theyare the result of borrowing, as seems to be the case withAllium ursinum, called “bear’s onion” or “bear’s garlic” inItalian, German, Lithuanian, Russian, Ukrainian, Polish,Slovenian, Serbo-Croat, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Romanian,Albanian, Estonian, Turkish, Azeri, Bashkir, and Kirghiz.Böhling [117] discussed why Allium ursinum had been
referred to as “bear’s onion” already by the ancient Greeks.He suggested that bear in the plant epithet referred toUrsa Major (Big Dipper), − the constellation which couldbe seen in northern skies (other Allium species occurredin southern Europe, while A. ursinum was one of the mostnortherly distributed species of onions). His hypothesis isnot convincing. First of all, for typological reasons, theredo not seem to be any plants named after stars inany of the Germanic or Slavonic languages; the above-mentioned motivation by bear food or lower status seemsmuch more logical.William T. Stearn [118] analysed the means of coining
the medieval Latin name branca ursina [“bear’s paw”]for Acanthus mollis –someone “noted a resemblance be-tween a floral bract of Acanthus mollis and a bear’sclawed paw” – and then transferred it (first in France) toHeracleum sphondylium which “has large divided leavessomewhat like those of Acanthus mollis” [118, 119]. Thename branc (branque, branche) ursine Acanthus mollis,evidently, provoked the French form patte d’ours [2].It seems that the model turned out to be rather product-
ive, as numerous names for both plants, mostly translatedas “bear’s paw” (but also ‘foot’, ‘palm’, ‘claw’, ‘nail’, ‘finger’,etc.), are spread all over Europe – in Upper Sorbian,Slovak, Polish, Czech, Ruthenian (in Vojvodina), Serbian,Croat, Slovenian, Bulgarian, Russian, Romanian, French,Hungarian, English, German, Swedish, Danish, Dutch,North Saami, Votic, Tatar, Chuvash, Azeri, and Bashkir [6,16, 45, 61–63, 65, 68, 84, 86, 87, 89, 113, 116, 120–129].The model might also concern other Heracleum species; alarger group was made by folk names for Heracleumsphondylium L., mostly in Northern Europe.In these cases we may suggest that first corresponding
phytonyms penetrated to Indo-European languages, andlater – very likely, through their mediation – to Finno-Ugrian and Turkic ones.A noteworthy unity of nominations was demonstrated
by a number of names for Primula auricula L.: Germ.Bärenohr [65], S.-C. мeдвиђe уxo [84], Cz. medvědíouško [60, 61], Eng. bear’s ears, bazier, ba(i)sier [45],Rus. мeдвeжьe ушкo [116], It. urie/orie d’ours, orecchiod’orso, recchietta d’urss [74], Fr. oreille d’ours [2], Ukr.medved’ače uxo [130], Bulg. мeчo уxo [86]. The seman-tically analogous Turkish name ayı kulağı referred toPrimula auriculata, P. elatior subsp. pseudoelatior, P.longipes, P. veris subsp. columnae and P. veris subsp.macrocalyx [131]. All of them have the inner form“bear’s ear(s)” – thanks to loan translation from Latin. Ithad a pre-Linnaean name Auricula ursi (because of itsleaves which seem to be very much shaped as bear ears),which has been translated into many languages, and ren-dered in the medicinal and botanical literature, for in-stance in Germ. Berenohrlein [132], Dan. bjørnsøre[133], Sw. björnöron [134, 135].

Several nomination typesAs it was said above, there are often reasons to assumethe existence of more than one basis for nomination,and this group constituted 22% of all motivations. Thus,Rus. Perm мeдвeжий гpиб [“bear’s mushroom”] Sarco-don imbricatus (L.) P/Karst. was explained by respon-dents reasoning from its bitter taste; the researcherpreferred to mention the size of the mushroom (reach-ing 30 cm), as well as dark and velvety colouring of thecap [102]. But it also seems important to note that thespecies has greyish brittle teeth instead of gills on hyme-nophore which could cause comparison with bear’s heador ear in Bulgarian, Czech, and Belorussian [61, 79, 86].We have already discussed the case of Heracleum spe-cies, combining language borrowing and motivation byshape; at the same time, the plants of Heracleum genusare used by bears for food. The names for Allium ursi-num also seem to combine bear-food motivation andloan translation.
Motivation unknownFolk nomination is sometimes so doubtful and dubious thatthe question of motivation may remain unsolved, as it is,for example, for Alb. bar i ariut [“bear grass”] Erica herba-cea L. [136], and in many other cases. Unfortunately, dialectdictionaries, while recording plant names, seldom give themotivation. This was the case in 13% of all records.

Discussion and conclusionsThe material presented gives wide opportunities forlinguo-geographical and ethno-cultural observations andstudies. Bear phytonyms were quite widespread in somecountries/languages such as Estonian (140), German(125), Russian (122), Swedish (92) and rather rare in theothers – Macedonian and Ruthenian (7), Albanian andSlovak (6), Danish (5), Bashkir (4), Chuvash (3), Livonian(2) (these numbers are not absolute, as it is not alwayseasy to differentiate phonetical variants and differentphytonyms). This fact can hardly be explained only byenvironment differences (like for example speakers ofEstonian and Livonian inhabited the same ecologicalniche) nor to linguistic peculiarities (as for examplethere are bear-rich and bear-poor languages in all mainlanguage groups) and needs deeper cultural anthropo-logical studies combined with folklore and ethnology. Avery interesting situation was observed in the Turkic lan-guages. There are 93 recorded Turkish bear names,while the other members of the language group demon-strate a much weaker interest in this kind of nomination: 7(in Tatar), 6 (Kazakh), 5 (Kirghiz), 2 (Turkmen and Uzbek),and 1 (in Gagauz, Uyghur, and Karachay-Balkar) – andeven here, around half of these are Latin calques. However,this may, at least to certain extent, be related to theamount of the historical ethnolinguistic research done onthe selected languages. Nevertheless, a rough approxima-tion based on the mean number of names in all languages

belonging to a language group allowed to list the lan-guage groups according to the bear-richness: Germanic,Slavonic, Finno-Ungarian, Romance, Other (Albanian andLithuanian) and Turkic (Fig. 4). However, such approxima-tion should not be taken too literary, as much depended onthe presence of small languages and the languages weresearched do not cover all languages of the groups.From structural point of view, we may conclude that
bear-names might be created according to severalmodels: 1) bear/she-bear, 2) bear + a body part of thebear, 3) bear + a part of the plant, 4) bear + a plant name,5) bear + a plant group name, 6) bear + an object name.On the one hand, some plants are “champions” in
bear-nomination, while others have only one or two bearnames. On the other hand, some features – form and/orsurface, in our case – cause a very rich pool of names,while such features as colour seem to provoke ratherfew associations with bear.Some names recorded in a certain tradition may be
used for explanation of dark spots in another one. Forexample, Serbo-Croat, Hungarian, and Turkish bear-names for Boletus spp., having no explanations insidethese traditions, may be ascribed to status nominationby analogy with Russian folk names. The case of Polytri-chum commune, analysed above, allows us to surmisenot only form nomination in Russian, Estonian, etc.(based on Nordic explanations), but also borrowing fromthe Scandinavian languages, as all the names in the poolare recorded in the Northern regions of Europe.The database we assemble is also valuable for com-
parative and typological studies. For example, it showscorrespondence of names in Latin and in other lan-guages and demonstrates the deep influence of Latinnatural-science scholarship upon European culture. Com-paring names in neighbouring cultures (e.g. NorthernRussian and Estonian; Baltic and Nordic) could become agood basis for studying the question of the borrowing ofplant names.
