Ukrs – Forefathers of Ukranians

Abstract

The article focuses on the etymology of the word Ukranians from the viewpoint of its ancient morphemic structure, whichenabled us to recreate the initial prefixal root element *uker-. This form is associated with the Slavic tribe Ukrs, well known among the western Slavs. The further analysis of the term *uker brought about to the differentiation between the prefix u- (from IE *аu-) “far away” and the root *ker- “people, land”, which refers to the primordial “upland tribes, shepherds”, which are believed to inhabit the Carpathian mountains.
