About the book

"This book contains a selection made from among the roughly 100 articles on place-names in Sweden and the other Nordic countries published by Lennart Elmevik, emeritus Professor of Scandinavian Languages in the University of Uppsala, one of whose main fields of interest has been onomastics. In different sections of the book, the reader will find studies of ancient place-name elements such s -lösa, -sta(d), (-)tuna and -vin, of cultic names, lake, river and island names, as well as suggestions about how to interpret a number of place-names of different categories -- mostly settlement names -- of obscure origin." --Title page verso
