vilo hvala. meni treba konkretno koji istoricar i u kom delu je pomenuo i jedno i drugo. pokusavam da nađemraspodelu prvih dunuma.

Evo zašto:

Znacenje reci dun je tvrdjava ali glavno znacenje je ograda, ogradjeni prostor kao i zatvoriti.

In Irish word dún is both a noun meaning fort, fortress, place of refuge, haven, haven for ships, secure residence, house, and a verb meaning to close, shut. It is said that is comes from Proto-Celtic *dūnom meaning stronghold which descends from Proto-Indo-European *dʰuHnom meaning enclosure. Descendants are said to be:

Old Irish: dun

Irish: dún

Manx: doon

Scottish Gaelic: dùn

Gaulish: dunum, *dūnom

Middle Welsh: dinas

I find it extremely interesting that one of the direct cognates of the Irish word dun is Germanic word town: which is said to come from Middle English, from Old English tūn („enclosure, village”), from Proto-Germanic *tūną („fence”) (compare West Frisian tún, Dutch tuin („garden”), German Zaun), which is said to come from Gaulish dunon („hill, hillfort”).

šta je etimologija reci dun? Da li može da se dobije znacenje reci dun iz znacenja blokova iz kojih je reč napravljena? može na srpskom.

to - that

tu - there

u - in, into

v - in, into

n, nj - to, in boundary, it

njem - to, in boundary, it

u nj - in it

tu + u + nj - there + in + it, boundary = within, boundary, close, shut - tuunj - tuun - dun

tu,to + v + nj = there, that + in + it, boundary = within, boundary, close, shut - tu(o)vnj - tu(o)wn

tu u nj, tu u njem - inside the enclosed space

Da li je moguće da je reč dun nastala na balkanu kad su ovde bili skordisci ili čak i ranije?

mandalina, ruka ti se pozlatila. kako sam na dundjera mogao da zaboravim...
